That depends on the “what” that might not work out… are you talking about not landing the Job offer? Not getting the desired salaries? Not making it thru the degree? Share your concerns…

Hate the path you choose? Pivot early.
That startup went bust? Happens to a lot.
No job by graduation? Can’t help you there; I just pulled transition.

Well, it’s not working out for 40% of my classmates rn that don’t have internships at my M7

Same at my program. 60% no internships!

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
