[quote=Anonymous]I have an MBA from one of the "top" local schools (think G'town or Maryland).  I was a liberal arts major, and used it as a way to get a higher paying, better job but still in Marketing, and learn some business things I probably should have learned in undergrad (finance, accounting, statistics, etc.)

It worked to some extent, but it was an expensive way to do it.  I was making 45k when I went to school (this was years ago) but came out making 75k.  I also had about 90k in student loans.

If you don't mind doing more quantitative jobs after graduation, go for it.  If you want to work on Wall St., it's not really necessary, unless you go to a top 10 school and then they have really good recruiters.  You will also work a ton of hours and most women I know want more work-life balance than that.

Also, consider if you want to stay in the DC area or not.  If you do, it's harder, because there aren't many Fortune 500 companies that have MBA recruiting programs.  Many of my class went to work for the GAO, Booz Allen, or Advisory Board, stuff like that.

It's not to late not to go!!!!  Save yourself a ton of debt, if you don't know what yo want to do exactly.[/quote]
