It’s actually pretty much the only way to get into heaven these days so I’d say a great deal.

Can also help as your get out of jail free card for any crime you’d ever commit, and a way to make sure your steaks are always cooked to a perfect medium rare.

Generally speaking, people will always be nicer to you and want to date you and carry your bags and stuff, since you’ll for life carry the unmistakeable scent of having once worked for an mbb.

^A1, there’s a reason why the answers are satirical- it’s a very subjective question that cannot be answered in a comment.

The brand does have value, but it’s not going to hand hold you and bring you future jobs. Similar to going to a top school, it’s going to open doors for you, but your career is what you make of it at the end of the day.
