MBA degrees are no longer the golden ticket to success. At this point, it doesn’t matter, and it won’t improve your chances of getting a good salary or any other advantages over other people.

I agree it seems like it is just a piece of paper achievement at this point.

Only way I'm doing that is if I can an employer to foot the bill. Otherwise it's a hard no. I'm not going to shell out that kind of money when things are so shaky right now.

Yeah I definitely could've been smarter about it. Thankfully I did an online one so it wasn't as expensive as the more prestigious programs but still

Oof. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks. Just discouraged but hopefully I'll find something.

Sorry to hear

I think now would be a good time to start and MBA so if you’re jobless you at least have something to show for it… finishing an MBA right now is rough. The job market is tight, and I’m not sure it gets you that much of a leg up any more.
