I mean starting salaries are crazy different for MBAs and for undergrad degrees. UMD smith undergrad average is like 44,000 vs. the MBA students who start at 81,000. Now I assume that the MBA students had nice jobs before that led to them having a good pay but I still think MBAs are worth it. Now matty can say Mattyk12, MBA at the bottom of every post just like this
Mattyk12, MBA

I got my MBA a couple of years ago. It's certainly helped me. I mean I was never interested in the conventional banking/finance route. But I mean I was able to walk into ESPN and talk about my years of working in tv. And they said well that's great but just about everyone here has worked in television at some point. But then I could say, but yeah I also have an MBA so I know all about creating marketing strategies, writing business plans, analzying cost benefit, etc. Not that you can't do that without the MBA, but it definitely carries more weight to say you learned it in your MBA program. Plus you really learn to work with others, so much of the work is group work. And I'm sure Matty would agree, the hardest part of the MBA is getting in. Once you're in it's not so bad.
