Educated brehs, what's wrong with getting an MBA?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

My uncle was trying to tell me I should get a masters in finance or get an MBA. The thought of that is just considering the facts that:

1) I'm a software engineer making $75,000 a year and I ain't been in the game 2 years yet
2) Finance courses were the most boring fukkin classes I EVER encountered, why the fukk would i go into more debt for some shyt I'd never wanna do

you have no foresight

75K is peanuts out here. Raise your standards. Listen to your family. They're telling you because they fukked up.

CFA is highly regarded (even more than a CPA) in many Finance professional jobs, particlarly if you are going for Director of CFO jobs.

to even attain a CFA you had to have a done investment/equity work anyway - so it's not a waste of time/money/energy.

Ok, for those who already in the investment world, yes. And yes if that person transitions to a treasury/investment of executive type position at a corporation it does carry a lot of weight.

For those who have never worked in the field, it's not really relevant. But as you said, you have to be in the field to get the designation anyways.

I studied for the Level One in college, and started to study again after I got into corporate world, but after doing research it just didn't make sense for someone that's has not worked in the field, and it's not a very effective way to springboard into the field, unless you are going back to school.

Out in anywhere.

The fact that you're comfortable means that you're lost.

You're in software making 75K? You might as well be an intern.

Again, your uncle was trying to put you on game for the future...and you shut him down like you knew better.

You don't.

Don't even bother replying to me. Humble yourself and plot your future. Don't worry about flexing for The Coli. No one really cares.

yeah the way you mentioned it, it won't work out as well.

passing all 3 exams and then waiting for the experience component to get the actual designation isn't gonna help you. If you already have the CFA , you are in a GREAT position.

If you're not planning on getting into management then its a waste. I'm in management right now, making 115k here in Chicago, just over 30 years old, and have an MBA with an undergrad degree in engineering. If I went to work for an aerospace company or an automotive company I would see the upper 100's or into the low 200's. if I didn't have an MBA then it wouldn't even be a possibility. I'm not transitioning into the private sector though, there is no diversity.

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

I'm currently getting one but my job is paying for it. If it wasn't for my job, I'd prolly try to specialize in something like finance or accounting ( I have engineer bachelor's)

But this one is free so

I have a question, will a top 75 school be enough to crack 100K +, I aiming for Ole Miss (Dirt Cheap) and its a top 75 school and Also I aiming for Georgia State which is respected in my area. I am an Engineering grad and am taking Cyber Security courses paid by my job which lead to CISSP hopefully by the end of the year. That should help me crack 100K. I think...The thing is if I get accepted into both schools it won't cost me anything since my job would give me 30K and reimbursement money but shyt if I could crack 6 figures , I think I might be cool wihtout doing further schooling. I will be 27 this year and I am at the point where I gotta get these things done by 30 lol.

I would go for it, especially since the company will reimburse a lot of it. You can be 30 with an MBA or 30 without one. Either way, you will still be 30. Eventually, you want to move from the engineering side to the guy who manages the engineers. Much more money. In 3 years you'll have a lot more experience, an MBA, and then can consider management positions.

If you have an opportunity to go to school and get an advanced degree on your company's dime, please take advantage of it. Take the free money. You are ssentially putting yourself in the position to increase your earning potential and because your company has invested a significant amount of money in you, they are also more motivated to retain you as an employee and promote you.

Many schools alow you to specialize in your MBA do that if you are going to get one. Also go to a top 50 school (worldwide) or forget about it and spend that time getting your certs up ...

I think I am definitely going to do it.I have been studying on and off for the gmat. Just trying to get all that done before 30. If I was paying for it, I wouldn't but since it is free, I might as well.
