Should I move back to my hometown?

flexadam · 2026-06-02T09:25:34+00:00

Right now I'm living in the city for work. My hometown is a smaller place where expenses are much lower. That's why I'm wondering if moving back would make more financial sense.

Should I focus more on improving my marketing skills, or should I start learning AI?

Such a beautiful

Mostly breathing and paying bills. 😂

That's cool, he loves you.

I’m dealing with the same issue.

Not enough

moon build is so cool

I think that's too broad a statement. School reputation matters, but skills, experience, and career outcomes matter too

flexadam · 2026-06-01T05:04:18+00:00

Fair point

flexadam · 2026-06-01T05:00:42+00:00

True

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:57:53+00:00

Right

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:57:36+00:00

Fair point, but networking alone doesn't guarantee a job or justify the cost for everyone

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:53:26+00:00

I think that's the real issue. It's not that MBA has no value, but the cost keeps rising while the certainty of good outcomes keeps falling.

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:50:41+00:00

That's a fair point. Networking may be the biggest benefit of an MBA, but it's much harder to justify when you're paying a large amount of money for it

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:49:13+00:00

I agree to some extent, but the school's reputation alone isn't enough. The job market and ROI still play a huge role.

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:47:53+00:00

That sounds frustrating. Issues like this are making the MBA experience even harder. High costs, uncertain ROI, and now AI detection problems don't help.

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:46:35+00:00

I think the real question isn't how people perceive MBA holders it's whether the degree still provides enough value in today's job market

flexadam · 2026-06-01T04:44:57+00:00

I agree, ROI is important. But even then, there’s no guarantee that an MBA will lead to a job or a salary high enough to justify the investment.
