re: Does MBA help? |

I echo what many have said on this board. If you want an MBA do it for the education, the contacts, to get a job in a Fortune 500 company or if you want to teach in higher education later on down the road. I have been wrestling with the idea of going to graduate school (For Game Theory, not MBA)to learn more on a subject that I'm very interested in. But, I may just decide to keep reading on the subject.
I thought about an MBA but I already have a Bachelors in Business. What took me away from my thoughts of getting an MBA was looking at the people that I considered successful. I have a board of mentors that I've gathered through the years and who I consult with when I need to. All these members I consider successful and not one of them has an MBA. The two wealthiest barely did well enough to get a bachelors.
My suggestion, whether you get an MBA or not, get a board of mentors if you don't have one. Also, read as many books as you can. My favorite is Winning Through Intimidation by Ringer.
Good luck in whatever decision you make.
