Just to clarify:
If you’re thinking of doing an MBA - do not do so unless the economy is good 2 years after matriculation?

I mean I see what you’re saying but I disagree. It really got me ahead and I didn’t even go to an amazing school

Start an MBA when the economy is bad, graduate when it’s on the come back
