Is a MBA really worth it?

was

I've been thinking whether I should take a MBA Program, I've just had two years work experiece, which also means that I don't have many resources to finance the degree. A MBA will definitely cost a lot, tuition, living expenses, etc, and I will have to sacrifice two years income. The reason I want to take that is because I want to change my major into Finance, and a MBA is by far, the most appropriate program I have ever known to achieve my goal. In that it will not only provide the specific knowledge of Finance, but also provide a holistic understanding of this area.

However, after considering the fierce job hunting situation, I can not approve myself that a MBA is the most efficient way to achieve my goal. Even if I do land a job successfully, a total cost of around 100thousand dollars will still be a big burden, let alone the probability that the job can not make me satisfied after two years intensive study.

What's your opinion?

Take GMAT first. It will be good for five years and only cost $250 per test.

Think your career goal and then decide what to do.

this is a question that must be answered by yourself. the risk and return are both there.

anything called as choice definitely has its underlying tradeoff,finally it is our choices at different stages that made up of our life...so think it twice before any decision,then go for it with peseverence, without looking back & regret...best of luck to all here!
