Having cold feet about committing. Was going to get sponsored and now want to just quit and pay my own way, but it’s expensive and first time I’d be going into debt. How do you plan to pay for yours?

I think getting cold feet is common. I just got into an M7 as a sponsored consultant. And I currently have cold feet. I just think back to why I wanted an MBA in the first place and try not to get distracted by what ifs

Sponsored first. Got in second. Got cold feet third.

Sponsorship

I’m just thinking it’s very very likely I back out of the sponsorship and wondering if an MBA is really worth it if I have to pay for it.
