WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

The MBA is probably the most overrated advanced degree, with the exception of a masters in english or something.

This is very true. I actually don't think it's a degree, it's more like a Certification program for working adults.

The best way to add icing to the cake is to get a MBA/PHD or a MBA/JD degree. Just a MBA alone is like an Associate's Degree at the advance level, whatever that means!

Annapolis-Harvard Law Grad,

That is definitely not true. Employers know what they are recruiting for. If you jump track you will be years behind your peers.

Consultants at the big 4 or 5 are all undergrad degree holders. If they have an advance degree they are behind their peers a few years.

Most investment bankers I know of are asked to leave after two years to get their MBA.

Those overqualified JD, MD, and PHD are in the business world because they either had a change of heart or because their respective fields shrunk.

I think MBA's are overated, a business professor at Harvard told me that the reason they made the MBA at most Ivy's is because they had no business school for undergrads. If you get an undergraduate degree in a business field its roughly the same he told me.

I cant belive, I am actually agreeing with the law grad. But it's true, the MBA is just an over inflated degree.

However the most important aspects of getting an MBA is the contacts you receive. Most MBA students have working experience and are good source of business information or job openings.

Whatever... the job market seems to like the MBA. If you going to go for one, stick to Instate. tuition is not so bad. An acclerated course only takes a year and adds considerably to your income.

Yes give to your community. More you give = more you get. Law of universe.

Business school? You should talk to the 40% of the graduating class at Stanford, who is currently still looking for jobs before you decide to head off to b-school.

A traditionally Ph.D. program in something useful, or MD or JD program is the best way to go.

There are no jobs that require a MBA that you can't get with a JD or Ph.D. Case in point, half of the consultants I known and half of the bankers here are JD's or Ph.D., or even former analysts who have only B.A./B.S.'s. The MBA is probably the most overrated advanced degree, with the exception of a masters in english or something.

You forgot the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University and the Jones School of Business at Rice University, both of which has a large population of Asian American Students.

why go to pricey business school when u can start ur own business??? it's also looks better on the resume too. shelling out an arm and a leg for a MBA doesn't get u anywhere!

some of the stupidest people i know happened to graduate from wharton or nyu stern! don't know why!

rick yune makes way more $$$$ as an actor. his wharton degree didn't mean a ##@^!

Maybe you guys should think about that more than thinking about how much $$ you're gonna make or the nice car/big house you're gonna own. Give Back To Your Community! this is the only way that all asian americans can overcome prejudice and racism in America.

True, why are the Jews so successful in America and why the Asians aren't! But again, most Asians don't care about other Asians, they only talk about the problems but never want to do something about it! Actually most Asians are status concious, they see materalism as a way to project their superficial status, whatever that means!

Besides, having top notch credentials doesn't give u an edge over a white applicant in a fortune 500 company, and if it does, the glass ceiling still exists.

I didn't mention my school name to put others down or anything. Its cool you go to Kelley. I just do not like when people say negative things or call students superficial to be at a famous schools. Because those who say things like that are not the ones who have gone to the prestigious schools, neither they know exactly how the schools are to call it worthless, nor they know people who are at those schools actually work hard to get in and get out.

I didn't mean to be snobbish to say I go to Wharton, I am sorry if I sounded that way. I simply wanted to state that I am not the one who claims prestigous schools to be superficial or not to be without knowing the fact...But I am certainly proud to be there.
