Would you take out a loan for an MBA?

[Jason Voorhees]

Let's just say you get accepted into top tier MBA program in say Wharton, Sloan, Stern, Oxford, Cambridge, Columbia etc but the tuition itself is 6 figures and it would easily set you back a cool qyarter million dollars to get a MBA degree from these world famous buisness schools. Would you sell off your property to study here? Take out a loan on such a huge amount or just try for still prestigious but affordable buisness schools like Ross, Manchester etc

Are MBAs even worth it nowadays?

I am asking myself the same question. Quarter million just for a brand name and learn case studies of buisness strategies that can be done online

Yeah, I feel higher studies in something like AI would be more valuable.

I think a degree in AI is more useless then a comp sci degree is today

Well I meant CS but concentrating in AI. Nobody should fall for degrees called "AI" lol.

Just start working for a good American company for many years and they'll cover a significant or even full portion of your MBA. Getting into (more) debt for an MBA esp when you're young is not wise imo

 

[HostSamurai]

Lots of my relatives think MBAs are worth something but I don't think they are right off the bat.

Artificial intelligence isn’t a degree, people who have ML jobs are either stats/cs/math/physics/engineering majors

The loans will kill you. You have to be 100% sure you’re going to land a job after the fact. Just going to a prestigious university doesn’t mean anything.

Are you trying to move from your country to the United States ?

 

[我需要阴部]

if even harvard MBA grads are struggling to find work it's a pretty clear sign that the degree is oversaturated and redundant

Not U.S any country fine as long as the pay is good. I dont qualify for a MBA because I am too young and don't have work experience. I was just wondering if people here would take this kind of gamble

 

[RICHCELDOM]

I have not much knowledge regarding this.

Calculate the amount of years to be breakeven assuming best outcome and worst outcome.

Everything is a risk anyway. It's good to take SMART risks

Not worth selling the property and taking out a loan.
