A lot of people I work with are getting their MBA's through the University of Phoenix....

kind of laughable.

Go get an engineering degree, you'll be better than everyone else.

he is right in that univ. of phoenix is a joke

he is also right in that the engineering peers i had in my my MBA were the best I encountered, only in that they were more in tune with operations for some reason, and finance was a joke for them just easy.

if I had to hire MBA's I would definitely pick engineering undergrad. + finance MBA in many many, many situations.

that being said I still scored higher than them in all of finance and I have to say that because I'm jealous and pissed off of their engineering background and intelligence.

I have my MBA from a Connecticut State University, not the best and not the worst. If you have no prior experience, than where you get it from matters more. I used my to get a better job inside my company - technical marketing as my undergrad is in mechanical engineering. Now I am going to law school, so I will not even use my MBA.

school junkie, break out of it. figure out what you love.

There are so many MBAs running around in the private sector in my geographical labor market that it has actually devalued the B.S. degree. These aren't top tier universities, however it still alters the equilibrium of supply and demand for college educated labor. Why hire a B.S. when you can have an MBA for the same price that you can plug in and make near zero human capital investment in the form of on the job training?

An MBA doesn't pay for off with the state gov't that I work for. The 2 years experience on the job is treated the same. Moving up within a state bureaucracy is more political in nature and less about qualifying credentials.

this is a case where there appears to be absolutely no name value, and therefore agreed, MBA worthless.

I find the JD much better than the MBA and not as many people have one. The LSAT is harder than the GMAT and the entrance is much more competitive. If I had to chose between the two, JD all the way.

better at least love law for awhile before you want to do business, if that's what you mean. I went down the same road, asked and asked and asked about whether to get an MBA or a JD/MBA, and the universal concensus was unless you want to be a lawyer OR BE SEEN AS ONE, don't get a JD.

My little brother is currently at Kellogg. Is it tough to get in there? He's got a lot of natural intelligence but I dont know that his undergrad grades were all that hot (partied alot). Although he's been highly successful in his career since he left undergrad, does that have anything to do with it>

what the.......

amazing school, so much respect.
