[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You are talking about something 5 years from now[/b]. Your daughter should focus on establishing herself in a career out of college and see where that takes her. People change jobs a lot in the first few years out of college and an MBA may or may not be the best step when she has a few years of experience and a better idea of the roles she prefers.

When she is considering a grad degree, it’s possible her company would pay or that a masters in another area would be better. It’s all too hypothetical at this point when just finishing up bachelors. But if an MBA is logical at that time in her career, yes it is better to go to the very best mba possible because it does make a difference in hiring and recruiting if you are at a top program.

[b]I just think it’s too early to worry about it now when you have no clue what her work journey will be.[/b][/quote]

Neither we nor OP know when--if ever--OP's daughter will pursue an MBA degree, therefore, it may be wise to learn about MBA programs & MBA careers now.

Many see value in obtaining an MBA degree too late due to life circumstances and/or due to loss of 2 years of earnings high enough so that the cost of an MBA degree cannot be justified from a financial standpoint.

Earning an MBA degree early--for example, with just 2 years of post undergraduate work experience--may be prudent before life gets in the way. Family responsibilities, whether children or elderly parents or personal illness, etc., might make entry into an MBA program unworkable.[/quote]
