ofnomicsSpent $22,000 on an MBA I have never used once
Everyone told me an MBA would open doors. I went to a mid-tier business school, took out loans, sacrificed two years of income, and graduated with honors. Applied to 200+ jobs. Got zero callbacks that mentioned the MBA as a factor. I'm now doing the exact same marketing job I had before, just with $22,000 more debt and two years less experience.
Lesson LearnedUnless it's a top-10 school, an MBA is a very expensive LinkedIn badge.
Was the MBA worth it?
Two years, $22K, zero callbacks that mentioned it
