Is it worth going to grad school?
Favorite Answer
1. To do well in any field of study, you should be committed to it. You sound like you are not at all excited to think about further study right now.
2. Some work experience to further define what you do and do not want to be professonally involved with is important because an MBA (and any advanced degree) can be tailored toward specific goals and you don’t yet know what those might be.
3. If you do decide on the MBA later, many top firms will pay for schooling if they see you as someone worth grooming for advancement. Some companies even pick up the entire cost of the MBA degree. When you are looking for jobs, you might even make it a point to ask about career advancement opportunities and what the company expects or supports for that.
4. If you do move to another region, you may decide that you really like it there and you’d like to stay in that region for your further studies. Waiting allows time to familiarize yourself with the schools and programs in the region. Or. . . let’s say you move to New York and work a few years but then really want to move to Chicago. Moving there to do your MBA provides a transition time and then you are already in Chicago area when you are ready for another job search.
Waiting definitely makes the most sense.
Studies have shown that the MBA degree is worth the cost and foregone income. It prepares you for managerial positions in business. It is a broad general degree rather than specialization in a particular field of business.
