Some background - I currently work at a local children's hospital as a registered nurse in Austin. I've been debating between going back to school for a long time and after years of considering my options, I've decided that I wanted to pursue an MBA. What really interested me in going for an MBA is the diversity it holds for me in career opportunities. I enjoy being a nurse, but have found that it's a bit limiting career wise. I have a general idea of where I want to go with my MBA, but I am encouraged by the opportunity of being able to work in healthcare with it or expand to other careers if I find something that fits me more.
I have a relative that went through a top 10 MBA program and he highly encourages me to shoot for those programs as they will give me better opportunities upon completion of my MBA, but my question is - what if I don't do a top 10 program? In general, looking at my current situation, I don't think I'd be able to pay for 2 years full time at a top 10 program. It would involve me moving, unable to work, and having to find room and board on top of college tuition. I'm concerned that I won't be able to get the same opportunities I would if I did do a top 10 program though. What similarities as far as opportunities and ROI does McCombs have in comparison to a top 10 program?
(Of course, this is all assuming I get accepted to a top 10 program/McCombs).
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
