<p>Okay, so weve all heard the statistics and claims that you dont really need an MBA if you go to Wharton.</p>

<p>But I want to know from those of you that have graduated from Wharton and those that know people who have graduated from Wharton.</p>

<li>Did you/they end up getting an MBA?</li>
<li>If yes, how many years after graduating from Wharton?</li>
<li>Did your company pay for some or all of your MBA tuition?</li>
<li>Was it mainly just a technicality to get the higher position?</li>
</ol>

<p>the alumni career surveys may help somewhat here:</p>

<p>but mba degrees can be helpful in changing industries
some firms require mbas
some firms will pay for mbas (mine will!)</p>

<p>and what do you mean by technicality to get the higher position? if your company pays for an mba i’m pretty sure you come back in the higher position automatically</p>
