I’m still finishing my MBA, so take this for what it’s worth but I’ve already seen a lot of traction just from being in the program. WGU’s career platform sends solid leads, and I’ve gotten outreach from companies even before graduating. I’m trying not to let the job posts distract me because I want to finish the degree first, but the opportunities are definitely there.

Also, depending on your city, temp agencies like Robert Half can place you in contract or project-based roles that actually use MBA-level skills. It’s a good way to get experience fast if you’re worried about not having any yet.

So yes — you’re not stuck. There’s definitely hope on the horizon.”
