Executive MBA's

[imported_griffis]

What if the job was landed already in a big consulting firm without the MBA, and I am using it to advance later on? Would anyone's advice change?

Hey all, I was curious to see if anyone here has an executive MBA or a MBA they acquired while working their professional career. If so, what are some of the standard requirements to get in to a an Executive MBA program or other MBA programs. Georgia residents would be helpful since thats where I live.

A waste of time unless you are going to own your own business $$$$$ or are looking to become another cogg in the big executive machine (boooohhhhh)...........

sorry had to add that no offense

-fish

No offense taken, I rather enjoy the corporate world and being one of the cogs. Call me a workaholic! But I understand your point of view.

23 years old with 2 years experience and currently about to move into a more project team environment that will allow me to get more managerial experience, more so a consulting position. Looking at going back to school to get my MBA in about 2 years, just wanted to see how the current educational market is.

an MBA without work experience is just a piece of paper IMO.

should for like when your 27ish thats a good age where you can really bring something to the table and make the most of the experience

Yeah average for the top 10 programs is 28-29ish

I know but by that age i will have 7 or 8 years experience under my belt, at that point the position im in might not allow this "weekend" time but of course I am speculating.

Past 10-15 or even 20 (which is a stretch) MBA's ROI is pretty much nil.

Any legitimate source to back that statement up?

I'm quite certain this statement is false.

If anything I saw an article (the name of the magazine escapes me..U.S. News ?), but they even calculated and rated various mba programs in terms of ROI and payback period. Interestingly enough it actually found Harvard to be one of the worst in that sense (again I don't remember the exact specifics as they calculated various metrics, but this was the gist of it).

That is interesting, I wouldnt think that an MBA has a crappy ROI if you don't pay for it
