I'll just give you the straight answer. You can decide if you like it or if you don't.

A business school provides you with no real tangible skills. None. You don't learn leadership in a couple years through classes. You don't learn management until you actually have people working under you for many years and then enter a collaborative learning environment with case-studies. In terms of finance or marketing skills, again, learned on the job - not in class.

So why go to business school? Because it provides you with a nifty little book of alums and a name you can throw out to people. Following that, I simply do not understand why anyone below 30 would pursue an MBA from a non-Top 10 school and pay those ridiculous costs. If you're having this paid for, or if you're more experienced, it's another story.

Given that you will be taking on a very large cost for this non-essential degree, what's another $250 to add on?
