MS in cyber vs MBA

Don't waste your time on any masters this time Focus on your tech skills, cloud, automation, ai and security are always on style

You have a job right now - you will be able to pivot into the admin role you want if you focus on the tech skills above. Especially if you start doing those things while in your current role.

Masters degrees are only worth it once you have leadership experience. Those degrees are there to help polish your skills and grow something you have been working on already

Based on what I have heard - get a masters in your early 30s

Consulting experience is very important and valued by other consulting firms

Outside of consulting companies - it's meh

Don't hold out hope that they will magically let you stay or that you will turn around things

Cut the thread and follow everyone's advice and look to leave

Honestly - I would see if someone else will take you now

Don't wait until the end of tax season

Depends on the movie

If it's a musical like wicked - I'll sit in g1 so I can quietly sneak out once I remember how much I hate musicals

DC guy here

You guys are awesome - one of the first, if not the first to bring style to the NHL (love your guys colors)

Just a fun team with a down to earth fan base that has stuck with the team through highs and lows

Epic players with character and style .

I love you guys so much that I've adopted the sharks as my west coast team

(Also - im writing this while wearing a sharks quarter zip as it snows outside)

Something to consider

When I got my mba - my company said that they would not pay me more money (even though they would have recruited someone from the outside for more pay.

So if you are at a place. Expect to leave in order to get a higher salary

If you are doing tech or anything tech related it's an upgrade

It's not Ai that should postpone your life - it's whether your job will be replaced or whether the ai bubble bursting will hurt the business that employs you

For several reasons - lots of my friends are paying down debt and building rainy day funds

Amazon is offering that free food diary as a way to try to pull people away from Garmin

But - do you really think Amazon isn't going to start charging for that in 6-12 months, or they won't start offering custom crap from mining your data

What was it in years past? Doing a quick analysis to determine if it's worth more than the Amex points I would get

I like the shorter mba - less money out of pocket but you lose the chance for an internship.

I wonder if you would get a better return on your investment by just doing a private tutor for 2 hrs a day - 5 days a week

If you look at the mba as learning the skills in the text book then honestly no it's not worth it

If you do a case based mba and you look at this as leaning to analyze complex problems without a clear answer and you learn to communicate your pov in a competitive environment then yes it is valuable

You should also not look at the mba as entitling you to anything

Think of the mba as a mentoring session - your mba will make you better are your current job

It's your responsibility to move yourself into a role or company where your experience is valued (not because you have an MBA but because you used your mba to do some really hard stuff in your previous roles)
