for somebody who is trying to stay in the 9-5 area or at least explore options within that space...worth it or not?
did you get your mba from the same school as your undergrad? heard its better to get them from different schools?
I was all over the place. AA in history. BS in elementary ed. Went for another AS in computer networking (at local community college), added a bunch of computer certs and started working in that field. Then MBA at the same FL state university, a few years later.
You'll definitely get into mgmt. IMO, the best thing to do during a recession is get educated, and work when things are better. BayGBM cracks on my
www.fgcu.edu for not being a top business school, which is cool, I accept I'm not going to work on Wall Street. But I thank God all the time that I made that move. it was scary, leaving teaching. no clue what to do. but the MBA just opened up doors and gave me skills to use in any job.
Granted, I lack common sense at times and am still figuring out my political ideology (family full of special needs kids bring out the lib in me, guns n capitalism bring out the repub in me, and I just like to argue)..... but the MBa is cool, very useful. Talk to more ppl that have them, see if they'd do it again. I would... sooner...
