[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with going to grad school?  I went to a SLAC and then went to grad school for an MBA. I've been very successful. [/quote]

As an executive at a consulting company, I wish my company would stop hiring "newly minted" MBAs who went straight from undergrad. Even from a top school like Harvard, Wharton, Kellogg, Sloan, etc. I think people get much more out of an MBA degree if they have 3-5 years of real world work experience between undergrad and grad school.

When I see a resume where someone went right to B school, I wonder why they couldn't get a job. [/quote]

Uhm . . . nobody goes to HBS, Wharton (for MBA), Kellogg or Sloan straight from undergrad.  But I guess you would know that since you're an "executive" at a "consulting company", right?

Oh, and BTW, plenty of STEM kids these days plan to go on to grad school -- I know mine do.    [/quote]

Um, I went to Wharton and there were some kids there who came straight from undergrad. So save your snark. (I'm not the consulting exec you're talking to.)[/quote]
