  • Waste of time, unless you’re executive material. In which case you don’t need an mba.

    MBA is mainly for building up/expanding your network: Establishing commeraderie with potential business partners or people who’ll will help you reach opportunities is priceless. Do it just for that. Having a nice arsenal of connections in various industries goes a long way. If you don’t think that’s important or see any use in you’re career which I doubt, do not do it.

      Yep, I'm on one of such programs. Don't know what Intel contribution you are referring to though

  • The thing I would be concerned about would be the cost of a top 10 MBA. Half a million or more between tuition and 2 years of lost earnings.

  • MBA can teach you accounting and maybe how to invest if the program is good. But that is not worth $200k. Take a few courses online.
