Any good MBA forums?

[TommyVercetti]

I am searching for forums related to MBA. I did find some searching on Yahoo and Google, but most of them seem like they are selling some product. I don't want those. I want independent ones. Anyone know of any good ones?

review.com had some good law school/LSAT ones

Be warned, the people there are unfriendly, arrogant, in other words the opposite of the AT people. Also no mods.

In addition, why are you getting an MBA, the JD kicks its A$$

What is JD?

 

[astroview]

law degree, J.D., juris doctor

my opinion the law degree teaches you to think differently, more focused and methodically than an MBA, which is why I prefer it, and why I'm getting one

The downside being that when you're done, you're a lawyer.

I don't think Ken Lay is a lawyer, or Bill Gates

And in any profession there are good guys and bad guys, I'm sure you know some in yours.

How long does it take to get a JD?

It really depends on what kind of work you want to do. If you were CEO of a Fortune 500 company, would you hire an equally but differently qualified JD over an MBA to develop your domestic marketing startegy? Would you want an MBA over a JD to draw up a contract giving you sole right to market a specific product in a region?

A while back, two of my undergrad professors are JDs and they both hated being lawyers. One of them worked for Harvey Pitt's law firm and Phillip Morris, the other was head of something in the NE for PNC bank doing something with contracts.


I'm going to take the GMAT this Saturday. Wish my luck, God knows I'm going to need it.
