Should You Go To Business School in 2024?

Almost everyone in the MBA space will argue that business school is 100% worth it and that you should definitely apply to an MBA program (and pay them money to help!), but we're not going to do that. We talk to prospective MBAs all the time who we advise NOT to go to business school.
Why? Because an MBA isn't a magic spell that bewitches all companies to hire you and it doesn't start a company for you. There are all kinds of people doing amazing things in business without an MBA. The MBA is a specific program for a specific kind of person to do specific things.
For the very first video of the year, Angela Guido is here to help you discover if business school is right for you!

This is a reupload! HUGE apology from me for not spotting the hanging frames. May 2024 go more smoothly for all of us from here-on out
While I'm here, to add to what Angela reveals in the video, we're doing A LOT of work this year on the extra free resources for our community so make sure you join that if you haven't already at careerprotocol.com/join - one of the things I (Jonny - I do the videos/ TH-cam/ sometimes you will hear me/ see my hands as I loiter behind the camera) will be doing is collecting as many awesome MBA resources from across the net as possible and sending them straight to you every month.
If you have any requests for videos, topics or anything else we can do to help your MBA journey succeed, let me know!
(Sorry again 😔)

Your message is spot on. I applied to and was accepted into an MBA program a few years ago and never enrolled. The next year I started a class at the Harvard Extension School and stopped going because I wasn't truly chasing the education. Fast forward a few years with a bit more experience and a clearer path forward and I'm in a MBA program that I actually really enjoy. Not chasing a name or a title but wanting to actually further my understanding of business for the future.

Good info! thank you!

[@Ittiwatpoon]

Your content is really good! Keep it up :))

[@adeotosamuel7629]

This is a great video. By answering the questions you asked, I kind of had a light bulb moment that maybe a Masters of Public Policy is better for me than an MBA, or maybe both.

Happy New Year Angela! Thanks for these videos. Very helpful. Can you make a video on the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School MBA?

[@CareerProtocol]

Happy new year! We'll try and get to it! I've noted it down on the ever growing list 😀

Good Day, just discovered this channel and after 2 videos I'm hooked. I'm an Entertainer by profession and I truly love what I do but I've also realized how shortlived my career choice is and how I need empower myself to be well positioned to pivot, within and outside my current industry.
Ive just completed my BBA and I'm currently in the middle of my RPL application process to hopefully be eligable for an MBA. Have submitted all my letters of recommendation, completed the RMAT & Case Exams, motivation letter and now I beleive the last step is the interview. Hoping all goes well so I can begin my MBA in March 2024.
Thank you for all the tips.

You're welcome! Best of luck on your journey!! :D

Thank you very much, I appreciate your videos and insights into all things MBA.
I have a question and hope you would be able to take the time to respond to me. Basically I would like to get your opinion on the online MBA offered by University of the People.
Your input will be highly appreciated.

If you have the time and can afford it (or better yet, have somebody else pay for it), then definitely go for an MBA or any Masters for that matter. If you don't have the money or time for it, then don't. Its really that simple.

[@CareerProtocol]

Given the mass of comments we receive from people who did an MBA without any plan or real reason (but had time/ money) and now regret it, I don't think that's anywhere close to the full picture!
Otherwise, time spent in further education is time spent not doing something else, so for us it really comes down to whether the MBA will actually help you (and it definitely can - salary change pre/post MBA at top schools is one piece of solid proof). Then time (and money!) is invested wisely.
Business schools generally also offer considerable scholarships, which cuts down or even eliminates the cost entirely.
We're going to be filming a video on part-time MBAs soon for those who might have less flexibility, as well.

I'm getting an MBA because it's being paid for.

[@CareerProtocol]

Definitely a great reason, haha!
