Get a T30 full time MBA. This is what they’re for. I say T30 because you are more likely to get scholarships (if your stats are decent) and incur less opportunity cost.

If you are more ambitious, then aim for M7.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
