<p>Let's say you do finance at Wharton, or maybe McCombs.
Is there any point in getting an MBA? Or does the undergrad degree suffice?</p>
<p>An MBA from Wharton or McCombs would look even better.</p>
<p>Coming from someone who has no training in business at all and is not involved in it in any way, I’ve been under the impression that a BA in business means almost zilch, and that you need an MBA to get anywhere. Grain of salt happily included!</p>
<p>But can’t you get a good job as a financial analyst…?</p>
<p>True, your MBA is more important than any undergrad degree.</p>
<p>but</p>
<p>If you go to a better undergrad school (Wharton, McCombs), you have a better chance of landing an impressive job out of college. Impressive job experience is very helpful on an MBA application. So with a better job after college, you can get into a better MBA program which means better career prospects in the long run.</p>
<p>It depends where your degree is from.</p>
<p>
So… what would be the point of getting an MBA once you already have your undergrad business degree? I can imagine someone from a technical background getting an MBA, however, a financial analyst getting an MBA??</p>
<p>I’ve asked a similar question where I find myself debating with: political science and economics, international relations/ studies and economics. I myself do plan to at least get my masters. Though now I do understand that international relations have branches of its own ( many concentrations such as political economy, global health, peace and justice etc…) that you can attend graduate school for.</p>

<p>If you plan to attend graduate school, maybe directly concentrating on finance would not be best ( maybe), perhaps look into economics where many options are open, like buisness school.</p>
