In Reply To: Hi there.. if you went to a top 5 MBA firm... it must have cost 60Gs+ in tuition right? In retrospect, do you think your MBA is worth it? Was the friends you meet, and the material you learned enough? cheers.
Message: Considering all the anguish and uncertainty - not really. MBA Schools thrive off the intrinsic talent in some of their students. Those that would have done well no matter who stamped them with their 'MBA'. No one to date has ever hired me because of the name of the school I went to. I think spending all the money on the MBA was the stupidest thing I have done in all my life. More than the money - it was a bloody waste of two of the most productive years of my life. But I have learnt to succeed despite all that. (and learnt some lessons along the way).
