Most people like to use the program to network with others rather than learning. I'm getting my MBA because I need the credit hours to sit for the CPA exam. So I can't even really start my career till i finish. | ||

Edit: Internships don't count as work experience. Only full-time (possibly part-time but I'm guessing not) is generally counted towards the experience requirement. Go read up about the requirements. Edit 2: Also, a lot of employers will generally pay for your MBA upon the condition that you return and work for that paying employer for a fixed period of time. Another bonus to consider. | ||

I think the key here is "decent" business school. I've read that there are maybe 5 places where an MBA will really be a positive NPV investment. My guess is the list is just: Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, U Penn, Northwestern. To get into any of these schools, you will certainly need 3-5 years of very good work experience. If you want to go to a lesser school, you might not need as much experience. | ||

I got mine through normal college courses. <3 California. But even then, if you have the normal amount of business/accounting units you could really take anything for your 150. | ||

Honestly if you want to work with money, try to interview at an investment bank or trading firm. Top financial firms love engineering/math degrees because finance is hard shit and you need people comfortable with numbers and complex systems/problems. It kind of goes against intuition, but the BEST analysts at ibanks are the ones that DON'T go to business school because they are too valuable to not be working. | ||

I graduated from an MBA program earlier this year and all my Korean classmates were at least 32 years old. Average student age was late twenties, and there was almost no one under 25. Like other people have said, any decent or better school will require at least 3-4 years of work experience, unless you are exceptional (i.e. startup millionaire, 760+ GMAT, son of the Korean president, etc.) | ||
