Do I Need an MBA?

I faced a similar dilemma when I was deciding to do an MBA. I out worked just about anyone in my company, and had a great manager who recognized it. Pretty soon I was earning substantially more than my peers. An MBA had been in my plans for awhile, but the more successful I became, the less motivated I was to quit work to pursue school. I decided to compromise and do a part time MBA, that would allow me to keep my great job and continue on my career path.

Some of the things that convinced me to jump in were;

- Financially I will be able to pay for the total amount with cash by the end of my program, and leave one of the top ranked programs in Canada debt-free

- Although I plan to stay with my company, having the MBA lends a lot of credibility if ever I was to search for a job outside of my company, city or country where I don't have a reputation

- Pursuing the MBA signals to the company that I am dedicated to my career and pursing a senior management role

- The MBA will allow me to learn strategy and management skills, that were lacking in my undergrad degree (Finance)

- added credibility and skills if I were to start my own company, or do consulting work

At the end of the day I think it will be a wonderful learning experience, and I think it will help take me to the next level.
