<p>My dad told me that getting a MBA is crucial because there are too many people with bachelors degree in business. I don't know if that is true or not.</p>
<p>Let's say I get an undergraduate degree in finance, management information systems, economics, etc, and I make a decent amount of money after I graduate. I work for a few years. Would getting a MBA be beneficial?</p>
<p>Do a lot of undergrads with business degrees go for an MBA?</p>
<p>Would it be beneficial to get a liberal arts degree such as economics, then get an MBA?</p>
<p>In fact, you should NOT get an MBA in order to launch your career. In most all cases, experience trumps education after your undergraduate degree (and it pays better). </p>
<p>Only reason I see to go back to school afterwards is to gain a new skill, switch career paths, or earn a degree that is needed/can help for advancement. </p>
<p>I think it’s silly to choose your undergrad major with the idea of getting an mba. It should not factor into your decision making process at this point.</p>
<p>It is usually better to work a few years before you go back for an MBA. There are exceptions (like a friend of mine), but for most people this is true. </p>
<p>Some high-end financial jobs might prefer an MBA, but for most business positions you’ll be ok with your undergrad for a while. The MBA becomes more important if you move (or want to move) into management positions, but even there it usually isn’t required. Experience and job performance are most important.</p>
<p>I strongly disagree. The positions available to HBS, Wharton, Sloan, etc. MBAs are generally not available to people without MBAs and pay considerably more. Further, there are some companies where you will simply stop progressing through the corporate ladder without an MBA.</p>
