Is an MBA worth it nowadays???

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.

Depends on what you want to do with your life. Nothing wrong with a BA, but a BA in combination with an MBA is a strong basis from which to work in many fields.\n\nIn many fields a good MBA means a promotion and pay raise (management, finance, etc). There has been some concern that there are too many MBAs, but the MBA is still de rigour for management in larger companies.\n\nOne suggestion that I have is to go to as prestigious a college as you can to get your MBA. The big firms do pay some attention to where you get your degree. Get your degree from an AACSB accredited program http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/.\n\nHope this helps!

There is a high demand for MBA's right now. People are hiring MBA's and they are giving them great compensation.

it depends on what kind of mba you are doing.  what area of concentration?  and for mba's, the possibilities are huge, just depends on your preferences.

You could try a professional certificate in Management / Business Administration, or if time and money permit, a MBA.\nI would personally opt for a MBA program, as this will give you a very good insight on Business and Management, and will certainly open many doors for you career-wise. I have no idea where you live, but most serious, accredited universities offer flexible schedule MBAs so you can keep on working while studying. Just make sure you check out the university's accreditations, there are way too many scams nowadays especially from online-based universities.

Wow, I wish I was in your shoes because if you are willing to move (including out of the country), you will find a nice job once you have the MBA.\n\nFor lots of Money/Stress:  finance or e-business\nFor lots of contact with people: marketing/sales\n\nIt really depends on where you interests are at.\n\nMike Honeycutt

if it's a really exclusive art institute, go there. \nRecently, graduates from those institutes have had better job opportunities than MBA's. \nOtherwise, university.

That depends on what career you wish to pursue. MBA's are pretty expensive, so you have to be committed to put up the cash in advance. It is a great qualification & is very sought after by employers. If you wish to enter management world with some significant company, I'm sure it will pay for itself in no time. \n\nThe UK has some excellent universities, but clearly some are better than others. You should do some research as to which university you wish to apply to. I'd say the deadlines for academic year 2006-07 are passed in most universities, especially the top ones like Oxford, LSE etc.

MBAs are a dime a dozen. You will have to guarantee your future by working very hard to keep your job.

I can safely say that my MBA did help me a great deal with my career. My boss likes me because I am able to construct very comprehensive but easy to read reports. So, I use my grad degree. My college degree was a B.A. in History and it hasn't done anything. Only 40% of college grads end up working in their field. That is partly the fault of the students, and partly the fault of the colleges. If you graduate with a business degree and you don't have well developed Excel and quantitative business skills.... then you're going to be pretty worthless in most entry level positions. And that's the fault of the colleges. But if you go to college and you don't want to be "number cruncher", then guess what... 90% of the jobs are just that. Certain degrees like education, engineering, some of the applied sciences are very specific and will give you the foundation for doing the job in those fields. But, if you get a B.A. and go into business, then... of course your college degree won't mean anything, but that's probably because you didn't know what you wanted to be until after you graduated. If I had to do it over again, I would have been a mechanic, tile installer, or a plumber. They make more money than I do, and I have an MBA.

I got my MBA online from National University a couple of years back.  The experience was a very positive one.  The classes are very challenging, despite what anyone tells you about online learning.  You must be self-motivated and disciplined...and be comfortable using the computer.\n\nIt has certainly been a great thing for my job, as it has greatly enhanced my credibility, not to mention how pertinent the MBA program's content related directly to my job as a business consultant.\n\nMy program was International, so I had the added benefit of meeting students from around the world, not just the U.S.  The point is, you'll hook up with people all over, and make some interesting contacts.\n\nFinally, the online program was great for my schedule, as i really only had to be in one chat per week....other than that, I could do the work whenever I wanted.  Great flexibility!\n\nHope this helps!

well, i don't know that you're going to find a 'low cost' MBA anywhere.  supply and demand, supply and demand!  the demand for these programs has both increased the number of institutions offering them and the cost per program.\n\nwhen i went for my MBA, i didn't want to drive an hour an a half two nights a week to the nearest big city that had a program.  at the time the University of Phoenix Online Program was the only ACCREDITED distance learning program around.  i signed up for it, bought myself a 'screaming' 2400 baud modem and earned my MBA at home over the next two years.  I think its a good program--or it was at the time anyway and that was 14 years ago.  \n\nGood luck!
