The lady leading the session to sell me a $150,000+ degree which requires me to leave my (extremely successful and promising career) for two years (and screw up my family life while doing it), started talking about how if people in the room got a bad grade in a certain area for their undergraduate degree - they might have to go back and fix it before they apply.
Did I mention I have to pay the costs of this program 100% myself since most employers (and mine) won't cover it anymore?
Once I heard that, I was done. Not only do I have to take three months to study for a stupid GMAT or GRE or whatever, I am also being held accountable for a grade I got over 12 years ago.
In that 12 years, I quit my business career ,taught myself software engineering, built multiple applications used by millions of people every month before resuming my career as a manager of technical evangelist teams.
The idea that I need to go get an MBA, take a GMAT, submit to covering for a bad grade 15 years ago after achieving a very high degree of proficiency in Objective-C and doing the things I have done since was so laughable it ended the desire for me to ever get an MBA.
Maybe if they paid me I might consider it. I just dont get it. It is something I might do if I got rich in cryptocurrency and needed a hobby to pass the time, thats about it.
Dont get me wrong, people (some) with MBAs I have met are often quite smart. But it seemed like an awful lot of time, stress and money and administrative nonsense for what the result is.
