Was hoping to get in Goldman Sachs as an intern of some sort. I have a blue collar background, I am a junior in college, going for finance. I would be open to any job as well. I am a very hard worker and I let my actions do the talking. Extremely self motivated. I own a small business, however, I am just growing tired of it. I have always wanted to work as an investor, so I enrolled myself in college 3 years ago. I have a wife and kids and I am no stranger to work. My work ethic is unmatched. Ty

It never makes sense unless you’re trying to drastically change your field.
I always thought about it as loosing 2 years of salary + paying fee + going into a class of mostly fresh graduates or folks starting their career. But you will have time to give full attention to MBA.
Executive MBA on the other hand might be a bit more expensive but you still earn your salary and your cohort is probably going to be more experienced. Obviously doing a job and studying is brutal so be ready to have no life for couple of years.

This is a good suggestion. Executive MBA from a feeder school could get you in at MBB probably as well as a FT MBA from a feeder school. But work and study can be a challenge so look into your situation and make a decision.
Financially - probably not. And visa wise it’ll be a longer process. If you value these higher then it’s difficult decision.
Every other way - absolutely yes. Academics, exposure, new career opp ideas, hugely expanded fun peer network, global experiences the types of which you’ll likely never get post this age, access to some very accomplished alums who’ll pick up your call.
I also agree with G1 on exec, part time being an option being on visa

Question (sorry for my ignorance): Don’t you have to be employed full-time during your green card process? If you go for full time MBA, how will that work?
I think I misunderstood your question.
Tbh it’s exceptionally tough. If you don’t have a gc then for full time MBA you’ll have to move to a student visa ie leave your job. In most big companies that means they stop your gc processing at that instant. If you rejoin they’ll restart the process, since your 140 is approved you can reuse the same date but it’s still doing everything again.
I do know a few boutique firms where they allow employees to take LOA for studies and visa processing etc stays intact but I have never heard that about Deloitte.
Best bet is to talk with your partner and see if this is even a possibility.
