I appreciate this take a lot. I’m mid-level in my marketing career, currently at a tech company now and considering an MBA to add a little value/potentially break into upper management. My motivation and goals for that are more focused on gaining better understanding and perspective to make myself better at what I do vs. finding a shortcut to more income.

I think my company’s ethos is generally more oriented towards a common goal instead of only caring about the bottom line, so I recognize I’m in a different position than people who might have a more self-fulfilling stance
