My MBA was funded by the company, I was working while studying in the evenings and weekends.ChrisCH wrote:I think the article is rubbish. It frankly sounds like it was written by a guy who was bitter for not getting that admission he was hoping for.
It is true - an MBA alone does not make an entrepreneur or a good manager. I have done one part-time next to a demanding, "good" job. This alone got me later into interviews - it shows your perseverance and that you are not exactly work-shy. It is true - I learned nothing in my course that I could not have learned on my own with a big pile of books... but that is not exactly the point. I have a technical background in software and moved more and more into business and marketing related roles. Getting a good overview on business and finance does help. And an MBA is simply a badge that proves that you did in fact read that pile of books
So I do not agree that you need to go to a top ten school (unless you absilutely need to end up in one of the top consultancies) and I do not agree that it was not worth the money... you only need to have realistic expectations what it can do for you.
