    Loved this video about the classes. When did anyone believe we use everything we learn at school haha? I am 3 years out of college and studied Economics and Business and got into the IT/SAP world in Oil and Aerospace and Defense. I like many others want to maximize my opportunities by getting an MBA. Hit 660 on the GMAT tho, but hoping my other experience speak more than just a test. I'd like to ask your opinion on getting an MBA this next cycle or the next after. when did you feel ready? Many say once you get leadership experience or promotion sets you apart but if your company is not as generous with promotions (very lean) would applying as an analyst with just 1 year at the current company be enough (still have 8 more months before starting in the fall 2024)?

    I got an MBA in the pre-smartphone era (early 2000s) at NYU with a major in finance and statistics. If you enjoy statistics and are taking Python next, you may want to consider taking further studies in data science, which combines software, statistics and finance domain topics like valuation. I also enjoyed the classes with lots of guest lecturers much as entrepreneurship; however all the guests they invited were successful which is a poor representation of the field. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

      Interesting, so you recommend studying data science after getting a MBA?
      I am working as a data scientist with 3+ exp years, and I aspire to get executive roles in the future ( manager, director, VP of analytics, chief Data officer, etc.)
      And I'm not sure if a MBA will help me to reach those executive roles

    I found the idea that you didn't get much from Marketing and Microeconomics to be...a little surprising? given I remember way back when when you used to translate videos into Korean and Chinese. I thought that was going to be an area you'd enjoy a lot.
    That being said, I absolutely agree that practice trumps theory. I'm coming from an education background, and while my criticisms for it isn't a one-size-fits-all, there's a lot of academic inflation where to get the same job our parents got (who might have spent 12 months max at uni) we now need a 4 year degree and a 2 year MA, when in fact all we really need is to get boots on the ground.
    And hey, that's what happened the newsletter!

    Problem with MBA is 70% is useless for most and only 30% is needed whatever niche someone is going to use for their career. After few years you may only remember 10-20% max anyway. Only practical classes are finance or real estate or private equity etc.

    Question: Are MBA's worth the 2 years of opportunity cost? I'm currently in an MBB firm and I don't plan on leaving any time soon (apart from considering an MBA break). From a monetary sense, it seems like staying (and getting promoted) is the more financially attractive option. Any advise on this?

      I got my MBA in Finance from Cal State Fullerton. I've found that for any class it depends on the instructor. They can make classes as easy or difficult as they'd like depending on the class's ability to learn the material and the department's standards (set grade distributions etc.). That said, if you are challenged in any area of academia, visit the instructor's office hours as often as possible and find a good classmate to study with. These two resources will help a lot in guiding you. Hope this helps, good luck! :)
