Is it worth to get an MBA? I have my CFP already and see I can get the degree online at Murray State by completing 8 total courses. Is it even worth it? other university’s that give CFP credit?

Is an MBA worth it? Absolutely. Is one from Murray State? Probably not.

like

MBA from one of the top business schools would make sense and a great personal achievement. But an MBA from any school? Probably not, better off getting more industry certifications.

If u can get in a top b-school, maybe you can go into investment banking instead. If u r set on being an FA, what’s a MBA from Murray State going do for you? Go prospecting Ja Morant?

Gives you more career options and teaches entrepreneurial skills for your FA biz. Try for top 10 night school or online program, so you can keep working.

As an advisor what value would I get out of it? Anyone know of other universities that have CFP credit towards courses

Personal enrichment and it shows your clients you are constantly trying to improve yourself.

I wouldn’t see value in the MBA personally

Why pay $80k-$100k for a top school? I’d still be an FA. Other than networking opportunities, what does it matter?

I went to a top 5 undergraduate school and my clients brag about it to people. It’s provided immeasurable benefits. Also, in what world doesn’t accomplishing something few can do mean something? Countless studies have shown that the top schools are worth their weight in gold if only for the networks.

Top 25 MBA or don’t do it.

Not worth it. Went to a bumpkin state school undergrad, no cfp no mba and am doing 2 mil gross at age 38. Hard work building g your business. Break eggs. Learn along the way. Letters and designations are meaningless in this biz. Sorry to offend anyone but that the way it is

I have an MBA and it did help my resume when I was in High Tech. I don’t use it on my business cards any more. Take it for your personal fulfillment. Not everything we do has to have a business payback.

I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
