Has anyone done Mark Ritson’s mini MBA? My background is primarily in social, and I’m interested in improving my brand/creative strategy chops. Curious if it’s worth $2000.

I got a lot out of it. As the MBA implies, it’s much more business-side than creative, but it’ll really help you understand effectiveness in advertising and give you a common language with the strategists. Plus he’s fun.

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

Ex healthcare workers in Tech/Sales Engineering/ Healthcare consulting;
I have my masters in nursing/FNP (1 yr) making <K70 (Indiana) due to low patient census in my role. No desire for a different FNP job nor to return to bedside nursing (RN 5 yrs). I have heard of some individuals with remote positions making >K100 with little to no experience in tech or consulting after doing a boot camp or cert?
