Me I’m figuratively using credit to pay rent

That’s the plan. Full ride so taking out about 50K a year purely for cost of living. That said my wife will be moving down too and will help offset.

No it’s ~40K a year. COA is 125K per year. I could borrow up to the post scholarship COA per year. At least that’s my understanding!

I see so many posts about going in-house and wonder if it’s a possibility for me at some point or if my chosen career path has pretty much closed the door on that, since I mostly see people discussing this in the big law bowl.

Or does anyone have tips about how to build useful skills for in-house in my current role?

Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
