没有工作经验的同学去读MBA真的没用吗？

孙权

谢谢大家的帮助，我心里也大概有个普了~

我也是今年去读mba，大四。

没有工作经验？不管有没有，去读mba一定有用，用处多少是和个人相关的。包括部分有工作经验的名校mba，出来也被认为是“木头人”，做不成事。Don't think MBA is a magic.

别太把mba当回事，尤其对没有工作经验的人，感受文化，锻炼teamwork能力，学些系统的知识，借这个平台找些实习，毕业后尽力找份工作，等等，有很多事能做，值得期待。

但是，永远记得当初的梦想，为什么要出国，为什么要读所谓的mba（或者你还没有确定的答案）。下定决心，拿了offer签了证就出去吧，还年轻，摔得起。

就像我一位去美国读mba的学姐，同样无工作经验，读了一年，有感而发：发现自己应该很庆幸，因为比自己笨的人多的去了

另外，和你说个事实。中国人传统的都是有数年工作经验出去的，但我和我美国的亲戚聊天，我说我没有工作经验读mba，她并不惊讶，（你可以想象和中国朋友说这个，他们会多惊异），事实是这种情况在美国并不少见。当然美国人容易进好学校，出来容易找工作是另一回事了。

P.S. 我相信国内毕业后，工作两三年，申请到top10的mba，并能获得全奖或者凭借自己赚来的工资cover全部学费的人可能一个手就数得过来了。家里条件允许，向父母索求也好，奢求也罢，相比把现在开的audi换成Benz，获得学费的赞助去美国闯一下没什么好唯唯诺诺的。

同勉，祝各位，不管有没有工作经验，赴美留学一路顺风。

关于你说的美国人对工作经验的看法，我觉得不是很符合情况吧。native学生没有工作经验的也不多，除非是很烂的学校。
再说了，native的学生跟我们中国学生的素质是不能比的。中国学生去top30的，绝大多数算得上是精英了。native的学生，除了去m7的那些，其他学校里的学生的水平就参差不齐了。

本科读商科加上很多实习经验的可以考虑
其他的不推荐——存在即合理，为什么MBA要求三年经验呢？人家是想过加试验过的

native学生没有工作经验读top mba的确实不多，可以说是很少。每年学校demographic里面都有显示，top50的，平均每个学校也就有那么2，3个。除了大的program，小program本身人少（100-200人），所以这个人数是相当少的。

中美学生素质的问题，不发表评论。

Part of the problem is that many think that they shouldn't apply without much work experience. They use logic, like vincent has expounded, such as : "I won't get anything out of this... schools must require work experience for a reason". (although in the past, business schools were actually like law schools and medical schools in that most people went without work experience, and then things started shifting the other way probably because of rankings. Nowadays things are shifting back towards taking the most talented candidates, regardless of work experience. That's one of the reasons we started the Early Career Club at Wharton..) Others worry, "there's no way I'll get in".

The end result is few apply, and so few get in. It's no wonder that not many people around here can advice you on what it'll actually be like to go to business school without work experience- because they've not done it, and very likely don't know anyone who's done it.

So take all the advice you read with a pinch of salt. No one can tell you what's right for you- they can only tell you what they thought had been right for them, coming straight out of college. If I had listened to all the advice I had received, I wouldn't even have applied to business school. But I, alone, decided the time was right. I didn't learn business as an undergrad, and had never interned in 'banking' or 'consulting', and I wanted to learn actual business skills. Regardless of what others thought, I decided it was right for me.

And it's been an amazingly rewarding two years. Will this definitely be the case for you? No. Some students without work experience DO go into business school environments and suffer a lot (there's another thread in here started by a girl who had such an experience). Others, like me, soak up and learn from the amazing professionals that I find myself surrounded by- professionals happy to view and teach me as a fellow classmate, although in the real world I would very likely be reporting to them.

Which of those two apply to you, only you can know. And that's only on the learning dimension. There's recruiting, there's networking, there's socialising, there are a million different dimensions to consider.

Whatever you choose, good luck!

jason，简而言之一句话，他没去上，就不知道到底合适不合适啊，哈哈。

事实上，“谦虚地听取他人意见”和“勇敢地做出独立的决定”永远是这么矛盾。
