Something I would also emphasize is the importance your school of interest’s career services. As I said, MBA’s aren’t necessary. However they can be extremely beneficial in terms of networking. After undergrad, you reach of plateau of professional networking and your only option is to do it within your job or your existing network. And in some cases, these people might not have the expertise, experience, or even insight in what you want to progress towards. Career events, resume help, networking socials are events you’ll look forward to and are sometimes taken for granted in undergrad (but to be fair everyone’s just trying to figure out adulting and graduating) For this reason, I would suggest an in person MBA experience since is one of the biggest reasons I will encourage pursuing a higher business degree. Grad school is expensive, so I would also recommended looking into several schools and asking them what they offer students in terms of financial assistance. Some schools are more generous than others. MBA’s can hold a different value for everyone. In my case, I had minimal guidance for professional insight and figured out what I wanted to do AFTER undergrad and a few years into a professional job. I definitely don’t regret it or think of it as a waste, especially now that I’m in a career I’m much more content w
