Dam typo, I meant education not “to dictation” 🤦‍♂️

I’m applying now, funded by the military but I’m hoping to see some good answers that don’t make me regret doing this before I start.

Graduated MBA from a top school, and glad I did it! Helps with more than just getting a job - a big network, great education, and a fun experience!
It's worth noting that most top schools offer generous scholarships (full or part) and there are plenty of ways to tap into this.

Career switcher from non traditional background. Even with non sponsored, I've had a huge ROI in addition to the intangible benefits.
