Merits/demerits of having MBA

[Kimi]

If so, some questions for you:

1. Did it help advance your career significantly?

2. Are you happy/proud you did it or do you regret it?

3. Do you recommend a US, Canadian, UK, Aussie or New Zealand business school? Any particular recommendations?

4. What do you think are the advantages of a 1-year (European) MBA vs. a 2-year (American) MBA?

5. Is it really worth paying that much more for one from a prestigious (let's say, Top 5 US or Top 10 Global) business school providing one can actually get admitted?

Thanks.
