| At what point would it no longer make sense to attend most MBA programs? Is it T-15 or bust like law school? |

Not many full-time Kelley MBAs are in-state. |

Depends on if your employer is paying for it, why you’re doing it, if it’s just a rubber stamp to advance in your industry, what metro area you want to work in etc The “M7” is the top 7. |

| MBA is a useless degree. A businessman should be advanced in business by that time not wasting time in school. |

Um, sexist much? It’s not 1980. |

Businesswomen are smart enough not to be wasting time in class when they should be doing business. |

Like most degrees today, MBA is a signaling credential, provided you go to a very selective school. It tells employers that your are smart, driven, can communicate well and are good at time management. Not the only way to do this, but it is definitely one way. What you learn in the program is inconsequential for most jobs and careers. The MBA for a business may be useful if you are asking for venture funding for a startup provided you meet the other criteria. Getting an MBA from any place that is not in the top 15-20 schools is a waste of time, effort and money. |

I don't know .... I worked at IBM for a long time. There were few MBAs in senior management. I met many senior executives that had no training in strategy, finance or accounting. Mostly people that came up through sales, and a few on the technology side. Those people could have used an MBA.
Whether an MBA is worth the price, especially outside the top schools, is a fair question. In my experience, an MBA is required to get into investment banking or management consulting. |

Not if you do undergrad correctly. Tons of people go into those fields straight out of undergrad. |
