Anyone else find that the company jams 5 days of work into 4 days anytime we get a 3 day weekend? Is the day off even worth it?

No, I find that they just call it a 3 day weekend and assume you’ll still work it if you need to (which is often)

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
