MBA after 15 plus years of sales & business development experience


b2school

wondering if it is worth going for a 1 year UK MBA from exeter, kingston, bath, UEBS after 15 plus years of work experience in sales and business development and having reached senior position ( VP level)

Appreciate your inputs/views on whether it is worth it and also on the choice of schools.

Thanks

If you are thinking about a full time MBA, then ask yourself what the opportunity cost is. Will you stop working to take classes for a year? If not, will you be as effective at work with all of the distractions from school? How will the school affect your family life? These are all things to consider.

Have you looked into a good executive MBA program? Will your employer support your MBA studies (a lot of executive MBA students are funded by their employer and given time off for class)?

The most important question to ask yourself is what do you hope to get from an MBA. If you are already a VP, then what will having am MBA get you that you cannot accomplish without it?
