Not really sure what field you're in, but 3 key points
1) experience trumps education / MBA
2) get a company to pay you for going to MBA if possible: i know 2 people who have had theirs paid for
3) to really answer your questions; one person who finished told me a really good tip. What you get out of it are the CONNECTIONS. The people in the course are also in their 40s-50s, and they all work in senior director / VP roles to become presidents. Ultimately, that's your sweet spot; doing the homework, getting ot know them, to open doors...

Super grateful insight. You think you are going to be epic smart from the MBA... well ... that's no different than thinking your BA is good to apply for all the jobs out there now that you have a 50k debt paper on the wall... oh how naive was I back then. no diff than MBA
Thanks for the reply but doesn't answer the question.

We all know MBA is about connection but that is more based on the school you attend - not related to knowledge.

Experience trumps MBA - yes, after a certain number of years.

Get company to pay for mba - ok great but hows that related to specific knowledge?


I'm looking for specific knowledge, skills gained by doing an MBA. Normally to develop these skills it may take 5-6 years on job experience, but if you do MBA you will have these skills in 2-3 years.
