lol, i’m 36 starting my second masters this fall at JHU. Late? I don’t know, I don’t care actually. It’s going to help me in my work- so that’s good enough for me.

Masters? No

MBA is a bit more difficult

I would highly suggest doing a masters part time / virtually, I did mine that way and saved thousands (not to mention I didn’t lose income...)

@SA1 Agreed the optimal time to get an MBA is around ~24-26 if you're optimizing for ROI. Many consultants hit post-MBA salaries in 3-5 years after undergrad.

Masters? No.

Doctorate? Probably... highly person dependent.

Additionally are market research outcomes considered a source of truth re a drugs commercial viability or is it just one input?
