I'm thriving!

I’m from overseas and higher education isn’t the be all and end all that it is in the USA. Additionally, US tuition costs are insane. If you invested what you’d spend on education, you’d probably get better returns.

Probably just fine if they choose a trade such as an electrician or plumbing or get an apprenticeship with a big company. A college education is overhyped imo unless you do a very focused degree such as engineering, medicine etc.

I wonder what would have happened had I known about the variety of trade school options. When I was in H.S., they had auto-working and cosmetology, and that was it. I had no clue how many different types of careers existed that allowed you to work with your hands. I never even imagined I'd enjoy something like that until years later. I went to a great high school in terms of the educational foundation I received, but they did nothing in terms of making students aware of career paths. When I went to college, I just got a degree in what I was good at. I didn't give a thought as to what I would "do" with it. I was a girl, so I wasn't supposed to have to work anyway. I just worried about grades and graduating with honors. I got lucky and found my way into a career path, but I had no other options. To this day, after 30 years, I still don't have a clue as to what I'd actually enjoy doing. Not a freaking clue.

Hi fishes,

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter.
