<p>Please Help Me!</p>

<p>I am 32 and about to finish my AS degree. I currently have a 4.0. </p>

<p>For the life of me I cannot decide on which School to go to for my B.S. Degree in Business. </p>

<p>I am currently married with no children. This is how I am able to go back to school. </p>

<p>I have a tremendous amount of experience in Business; about ten years’ worth.</p>

<p>I am torn about having the flair of a bigger name school on my resume or saving money and just going with the best bang for my buck combing my experience with a Degree so I can lift the potential ceiling on future employers. </p>

<p>I will be getting my B.S. Degree and Master’s Degree all at the same time.</p>

<p>Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>I am leaning towards Mark Robinson’s school of business because I hear and believe that it has a good business program for a great price. The only problem is I do not even see GSU on any of the rankings like US News. I mean GT even has a higher Business Program Ranking than GSU and it’s a TECH School! I was just wondering if it was going to be weird if I get a Business Degree from a TECH school. Would future employers frown upon that?</p>

<p>Well anyway please help me because I do not want to waste my time; money; wife’s money; and my family resources all for nothing. I really do not want to be selfish here and I want to do what is best for my family. Plus I would like to start a family someday; but just not in poverty. I would like to have my feet on solid ground!</p>

<p>Best,

<p>I’d suggest that you re-title this with something like “Best BA/MBA program for non-trad transfer with 10 years business experience?” and then re-post in the Parents Forum and/or the MBA forum.</p>

<p>If your business experience is good enough to get you into one of the better MBA programs, it barely matters where you finish up your bachelor’s degree, so you may want to consider attending the closest affordable place for that, and then travelling farther for the MBA. At the same time, you need to recognize that with your work experience, an MBA may not be strictly necessary (especially given the current discussions about the relative value of MBAs from lower tier programs), or that an Executive MBA program with only occasional physical visits to campus may be a better choice. So do spend some time in the MBA forum reading up on the various options.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>

<p>I will definitely have to give that a shot in that thread as well. </p>

<p>Yes I do remember people telling me MBA is more important.</p>
