What are your thoughts about getting your Master’s Degree as a marketer? I got my MBA in 2012 and to be honest it has opened up doors in my career that would have remained closed otherwise. Would you recommend someone get theirs or tell them to go other routes? My current boss, who is a VP, doesn’t has his MBA and is working on it now. So I think impact varies.

I can’t deny the benefits, it’s more so the process and whether or not you are really ready to tackle it and can see the path forward from where you currently are. Something that can take a lot of work, but can reap the rewards from it as long as you follow through.

I’d agree with this and that’s kinda my view on school in a general for non STEM fields. It’s more about whether you can stick to and navigate the process to the end.

I’ve always felt that the biggest benefit to an MBA isn’t necessarily the book knowledge, but the relationships built with other MBA students. That’s why I’m wary of all-online programs. The relationships built with peers is where the networking, job opportunities and opportunities, period, seem to start.

Interesting thoughts. I get it. I’ve benefited from both in person and online programs. There’s certainly a component that comes with meeting people and networking.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.
