Cal State MBA's worth it? A friend went to CSU East Bay MBA after undergrad and he keeps saying it was rigorous yet the school doesn't even require a GMAT...

Look at where they place people and decide if that's worth it. Depends for different people.

But MBA directly out of undergrad is not going to get you any high tier positions.

Is there any merit to these programs?

Also, ask yourself do you really need an MBA? Will the degree even be worth anything? Just look at how a bachelor’s degrees worth is less. It’s all about experience and certifications

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Hi all!

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
