Age may be an important determinant in this answer. But it is not the only answer. If you are younger and wanna ve an Exec MBA but you dont wanna "change" urself from your present self in your career, then it is useless.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are even 65 and you are flexible enough to let new ideas come to your mind from Exec MBA then it is something you must do.\n\nThe major factor is your own determination and will to make use of it.\n\nBEST OF LUCK in any decision you make

It is always better to work and then go for MBA because you grasp the subject much better....MBA college also want people with more experienced people who have seen the world and bring in their work place ideas rather than POETS.- as snapshots from hell would say it. So work first for 2 years and then go for it...

Primary reason, then, would be that you believe the knowledge would give you a significant competitive edge and the potential to perform better during each stage of your career. And/or that you believe it's a basic necessity to compete; ie that without an MBA you wouldn't even be considered for upper management in those fields/geography.

It depends on:\n1) Stage of your career\nIf you are early or in the middle of your career, getting MBA has more value.  MBA is an investment and can be expensive.  It probably makes less sense to pursue your MBA if you are a year from retiring.\n2) Career goals\nIf you want to accelerate your career, change industries, and/or change functions, MBA would be a good vehicle.\n3) Intellectual curiousity\nIf you want to learn more about business, getting an MBA would help you learn about it.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

An MBA from a top school is a great way to change fields and to increase salary.  The average student at top schools make six figures coming out of their MBA programs -- which represents an increase of between 50%-100%.\n\nThere is a little bit of a dropoff in the increase once you get past the top 15, and a big dropoff once you get past the top 40 schools.\n\nMy opinion is that it is not worth getting an MBA in a full time program unless you can go to a top school.  But for those students, it is well worth it.\n\nMy opinion is biased, but informed.  I have an MBA from Duke, a PhD in Business Administration (Finance) from Berkeley and have taught at MIT and Wharton.

Companies normally don't hire people straight out of school to be an executive no matter what degree you have. If you have no experience, they hire people at non-supervisory positions. After you gain experience and prove you have more than book knowledge such as good decision-making ability, then, you will be promoted to a supervisory position. After you prove you can manage people effectively, you may or may not become an executive. As for what degree, try MBA from an accredited business school.

Only about 15 b-schools are worth applying to.  Unfortunately, there are probably a few hundred MBA programs in the U.S., and the relative value of, say, a Wharton MBA versus, say, a Bentley or Pace MBA is lost on the average employer.  Hence, a top MBA program isn't a terrific investment anymore, unless one is to work for the top investment banks (one of a very few verticals where I think the MBA still matters).\n\nCyanne (other responder) means well, but the programs she cites are mediocre - they might rank in the top 50 but not in the top 20, and the fall-off from #20 to #21 and lower is precipitous.

There are many who hold an MBA degree.  The degree usually means much more when it's from a top tiered school.  But it shows that the person with the MBA went through disciplined training in business.  So in a hiring situation, a person with MBA is a better candidate than one without.

If you have had strong training in accounting, economics, and stats you should be good.  Good MBA programs are very quantitatively intensive.

Absolutely yes,but my advice is get a job first earn some experience on how the top management works and go for M.B.A.By this way the degree will be completed perfectly.
