I think for me it's been realizing that I need to work on my networking skills but not knowing exactly how to do it. My MBA program provides a lot of networking opportunities, but not a lot of training on how to become a better networker and sometimes I just wonder if I'm never going to be cut out for the kind of social networking that I feel like is necessary to succeed a lot in this job market

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
