[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are talking about something 5 years from now. 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.

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

Good advice. I was the Managing Director in charge of a prominent retained executive search firm OP.Your daughter should get the most experience she should get. Recently, the Career Director for  Harvard's MBA Program did a post on LinkedIn about the fairly high percentage of recent grads who didn't have jobs and had one of the dumbest quotes I have seen. Several people wrote to say she did Harvard no favor with her comments.

Give your daughter time to figure things out. Instead of already worrying about an advanced degree, she should do some online LinkedIn sessions on some of their great offerings such as AI and the likes. PR people have to stay ahead of the tech curve to stay relevant now more than ever.[/quote]
