I really enjoy journalists who are aggressive during interviews. good job!

Gets an MBA, works for company owner who never finished high school.
-
24k for an online course? How can you even say that with a straight face?!
-
So, let me get this straight, I'm supposed to pay a ton of cash to learn about business from a business that can't keep its business relevant?
-
Very good interviewer. To the point, honest, but not overly aggressive. Got the most out of his interviewees.
-
At least she was honest, "it's a business," which is all higher education is today. To make matters worse, it's only worth something if it's from a top tier school.
-
An MBA is only as good as the school that it comes from.
-
I’m officially a “customer” not a “student” anymore.
-
Translation for the title of this video: “New generation questions the need for an MBA in order to become a corporate or governmental functionary”
-
Why don't you cut your administration fees and lower your tuition and you will have more MBA applicants
-
“It is a business” And there you have it folks.
-
Learning about forecasting and so forth was useful but nothing beats experience, ya gotta put theory into practice.

Was looking at MBA's last year. Even attended a few mock classrooms hosted by an MBA school. This is what I learnt. A lot of people get MBA'S when they are too young. Without experience, you're not able to easily apply concepts. An MBA exposes you to the corporate mindset way of thinking. If you work in a corporate environment, having exposure to higher level management achieves the same thing. Another thing promoted by MBA'S is networking. If you have an interest in a field, attending conferences and meetups help you achieve the same thing. If you want an education in business, get a business degree or diploma. There are lots of free online resources available. I know a few people who have MBA's and they're not working in a job that utilizes their education. When it comes down to it, it's not the degree, it's your drive and hustle that will advance you.

I'm a first generation college grad from a blue collar family. In a few weeks I expect to close on a great business. Had I not gotten an MBA from UVA, the idea of entrepreneurship through acquisition wouldn't have even crossed my mind and I wouldn't have the capital to invest. B-school was the best decision I made in my career.

The best thing you can get is connections
-
MBAs teach you how to smile as you kill.

Good interviewer! Asked the right questions while being respectful. Thanks!

Went to a community college and university that offered online and lecture type courses. I decided to sign up for all my classes online instead of lecture since I learn better at my own pace. What I'm explaining is that just because I was online for 3 semesters didn't mean campus was prohibited to visit. I could show up to campus and still make connections with groups and guest leaders any day. Online courses are more flexible to people working full time and trying to earn an education.

It’s a ‘it depends ‘ question. A MBA from Stanford or prestigious means something, a MBA from some online university is probably bs.

When I grow up I'm gonna play in the MBA!
