    I was 23 when I graduated from college. My GF was pregnant after a year, got married, I was unemployed at the time. I wish i had more time to study MBA. Now, i need to work to provide for my wife and daughter. With 3 companies experience. I wish I have MBA degree before joining. The salary is much higher and promotion is much better. Even tho experience is the very important. In my honest opinion, when someone (also me) said, MBA is a waste of time. It is a way of patting themselves for not having MBA degree. Im still thinking about doing MBA but like I said, I have to provide now. So that is a sad part of my life. And in USA, i think MBA is worth it when it is from dope university only. And excellent candidate with 3rd class university MBA degree will always lose to Harvard degree holder with lowest score. The Brand is important to many corporate. That is why Harvard charged higher.

    Education is a tricky thing. What works for one person won't for another. For Example, Benjamin Franklin, arguably one of the finest minds of his day, was able to retire a wealthy man by the age of 42 with only two years of formal education. Perfect example of a self learner, but not many people could follow his example and succeed.

    On a more serious note. I did my Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration on a private school of Applied Sciences for a total of about 12.000€ (I am German). Even the boss of that school said the MBA is a waste of money and time, because the learning content is exactly the same but in just in English. A specialization is always the key to success. So at first I chose MSc. Finance and Accounting (2 years, another 10 grand). After 1 year I learned that this will not meet my expectation. So I switched to my original Interest and Hobby: IT. So starting in march this year, I will start with MSc. of IT Management. Luckily I can transfer 3 modules, thus "starting" in second semester (total of four). By the way, this is a lecture besides the actual work, so I earn money. Lectures are in the evening and on weekend. It's hard but manageable. In the end I have work experience and theoretical knowledge. The industry demands it...

    Thanks Antonio, great video. My 2 cents, I recently got an MBA after 4 years of work after graduating. I knew I want to get into entrepreneurship but I knew that the path would be tough to directly get into, given the fact that my overall background wasn't strong in business and I just knew I was falling short of some critical skills. 1 year of MBA gave a lot of knowledge about Marketing, Finance and atleast a glimpse of stuff you just mentioned. I landed a great job after that and now just want to make sure this 'entrepreneurship goal' doesn't get diluted working for someone. As for my opinion, I would say MBA could be a good investment and it's tough to say whether it works out well or not without diving into it. Would recommend people to just listen to their gut and take their decisions.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. It's perfect for our changing economy. I am ready. I know my WHY! I know what I want AND I'm on a threshold. It is time for the right level of change in MY life. I am working hard to reach my dreams. In the beginning of this year, I set 12 goals. Interesting enough I already reached a couple of them that I thought would be the hardest to attain. REACHED: 1. Appeared on TV in a Real Estate feature. 2. Finished my book and schedule a publishing date. 3. Learned to do 3 new things with my kids that they like to do (ride a hoverboard, ride a rip stick, learn their trendy dances) 4. Scheduled a public speaking engagement in front of 200 people (spoke before 500). 5. Start a new business. (In process. Will launch soon). 6. Read 12 books. WAITING: 7. Schedule a public speaking engagement in front of 500+ people. 8. Schedule a public speaking engagement in front of 1,000+ people. 9. Get 6 home listings over $1,000,000 each (already have 1). 10. Help my 2 older sons start their own businesses. 11. Learn conversational Greek. 12. Finally purchase a motorcycle to take my father on rides again. I already reached the toughest one. I appeared on a Real Estate related TV special. It was nationally televised. Each goal I reach is replaced by a bigger goal. Here is my appearance on NBC Open House TV ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/iISV182fdKvHhto.html Like I said, I replaced each reached goal with a tougher one. I ask that as you read the next six goals, you read the reached goal first and then the new goalI replaced the first 6 goals with the following: 1. Appear on THREE TV Specials where I speak directly. 2. Write 7 children's books (a series). 3. Learn 6 new things with my kids. 4. Shake hands with 6 nationally recognized multi-millionaires. 5. Start a Christian Church that stays true to Jesus Christ's greatest commandment. 6. Read a book a week! BONUS*** Buy Mom and Dad a better home. I know my why. I am George L. Rosario. Remember me.

    Great points. Before going down the path of getting one you should know what your ultimate vision and end goal is and how a specific MBA will help you get there. Going in assuming it will get you a higher salary, better title and status is a dangerous way to think about it as you may not see a ROI on your time and money invested. The largest benefit of an MBA is the network you may acquire so where you go and ensuring you engage socially is very important. Thanks for laying out the key summary points and making high quality content. Cheers.

    I never actually wanted to lead, I thought that it would be too stressful, but one day at my job, I had no choice. A co-worker of mine, just getting out of cashier training, and she had to open the store. She was super nervous and she begged me to run the front. Of course I was nervous but I stepped up to the plate and at the end of the day, my manager told me I did a very good Job; Afterwards, whenever my front end lead manager was sick, or off, She would rely on me before anyone else to run the front because I treated my employees like family and treat them with respect and everything runs so smoothly!. I resigned from the company last month, but who ever knew that I can be a leader!

    For me getting an MBA was a total waste of time, effort, and money. Unless you go to one of the top schools the degree not worth the paper it is printed on unless you have some killer work experience to go with it. Middle management has been automated out of existence. Much of what you learn in business school is just common sense and the rest of it is out of date.

    I did my undergraduate degree in social work & gender studies. Loved the program and I learned a lot of transferrable skills, but it wasn't for me. After the four year degree I went straight into doing my MBA. I'm halfway through now (Canadian MBA in Toronto) and I've found that it's a lot more beneficial to get an MBA when you have a different undergraduate degree as you have a different perspective on things. I have many peers that are not learning anything new and wasting a lot of money on the program since they're straight out of a 4 year business undergrad.

    More great advice. I think like you in that not everyone needs to have that "title" and many people probably just get it because they like business but are a little unclear as to where to apply it except to work in the corporate sector. I think the stigma of the pedigree of an MBA is what drives people and it sort of like the " I made it and have an MBA" is the end result, but a false one. And all the debt accrued to acquire such debt is crippling. I am not into the business world as such, but think this is valuable information that is valuable not only in the MBA circuit, but in other aspects of career.

    Antonio, a couple videos back i mentioned multi tools and pocket knives around the office. i just wanted to fill you in on my purchase. I bought a kershaw shallot designed by ken onion. It was only $60. Best knife i've ever owned. It is sharp both in function and in style. It is a wonderful silver color and is thin. It fits right in any pocket, jeans or slacks with ease and is slim and light enough to not be noticed. There are no thumb studs so it will not ruin or catch on clothing. Truly a noteworthy tool and one to consider in your upcoming video. Can not recommend it enough. It truly has been a conversation piece. Some of my colleagues also recommended a tactical pen from our talks about my new kershaw. I may buy one in the near future. They mentioned CRKT. They had said it was a fantastic pen to write with and one that can be used for defense if ever needed. Just wanted to update you and maybe spark some ideas for a future video!

    I have 3 years working in low-level supply chain management and enjoyed it. I'm looking to get back into a supply job, but, most employers want a bachelor's in business. I'm a veteran who's stumbled in using his VA education benefits, using some on general study credits not necessary for transfer, wasting some on predatory schools, and accruing 4 dropped courses: i have 12 months of the Post 9/11 GI Bill left, but, have the Hazelwood act available, as I enlisted in Texas. I'd have to do 2 part time semesters of pre-reqs before I'd be able to transfer somewhere like Mays Business School at A&M. Even with VA benefits, I don't see how I could avoid taking out student loans for living expenses. I know others would kill to have tuition paid for, but, I just don't know if getting even a bachelor's in business, to work supply chain, will be worth it in the end. I really hate the idea of taking out student loans. Would you say go for it, or, apply to jobs in supply chain, hoping employers will overlook my lack of degree? Thanks.

For most cases, i.e. the average Joe, it´s just a huge waste of money. If you want to start your own business you better learn from somebody with experience on the field. Most teacher´s there, are specialist this and expert that (yadda yadda yadda) but in the end are just theoretical, they never got their hand´s dirty
