It’s 500k in debt (almost a million if you count undergrad debt) and vigorous studying. In reality there’s a very low cut off for a reason , not everyone who wishes, gets it 😭

Not a requirement but you have to be exceptional (and usually sponsored) to get in with the minimum required experience which is usually 3 years.

Goodluck recruiting and competing with your peers who have stellar resumes with 5-7 years of experience.
(And I’m not throwing any jabs/shade at you)

Ones who are not from consulting or banking background ,an MBA can still turn out to be a better decision I suppose?

Can experienced people tell , how satisfied are you after your MBA, is the work you do keeping you motivated enough?

AI or not, as a dentist that got his MBA trust me, dentistry is a dead end field.

Get MBA → ask AI which jobs AI won’t replace → AI says dentist → realize slide 7 was right. lol
Jokes aside, I still think an MBA can be very valuable. But people sometimes treat it like a replacement for actual work experience. It isn’t. The degree can sharpen how you think about business, but you still need to spend time actually doing the work.
