GF is in marketing with 3 YOE as a project manager. What is the ROI on any sort of MBA program for her that would be T20? She has a top UG background. My understanding is the ROI would be quite high if as she makes 65k right now even any increase in salary + the future earnings would even out any initial investment costs just depending on what kind of exits she lands.

yes if you look at median starting base around 180k for many of the programs out there (believe most schools post this stat)

Yes, if she’s interested in the career pivot or just making more $$ it will be worth it for her. Most leave significantly more lucrative jobs for the mba.

And, strong female candidates are frequently offered merit scholarships at T15-T20 schools. This can change the ROI substantially.

I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..

Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
