Those news people need to let her talk

But you can specialize in entrepreneurship when you get your MBA.

It's "fewer applicants," not "less applicants," college girl.

I am currently doing my MBA with ARU!! Worth the money... ARU considered to be the top school stay side in side with the elite business was school.

Great job!!! I have learned a lot by watching this video. I was thinking about getting an MBA just to see what it is all about and what they are learning in the class. on the ROI I think it will work for me. Take care and be in good health

Stop bobbing that head like a weirdo! Jeez, I felt it's going to fall off any moment. Executive presence much.
-
why would you go to university for entrepreneurship? Kind of an oxymoron.

First off, I was a Business Administration major graduate from an AACSB accredited school. It took me approximately nine months to find a three month contract position outside of my field of study. Fortunately, I landed a full time job with benefits after the contract was up and this was prior to the great recession of 2008. I have to say MBAs are a waste of money unless you get into one of those elitist schools like Wharton, Sloan, Harvard, Stanford, and etc. Search YouTube and you will find many MBA graduates that are unemployed or underemployed. I would recommend going into Computer Science, Engineering, or Accounting instead of dishing out more money on a degree that is not as valued as it once was. I am an engineer now and it did take me long to find a job after graduation.

I'm Going to the one year full time SDA Bocconi in Milan !! 65k in debt and the school is one of the best in Europe!! any comments or opinions?

For some people, it is necessary since they are attempting to change careers. Ranking is important, but top 50 schools still have potential. I am former military. I know comrades who went to business school after their time in service. They luckily had the Post 9/11 GI Bill to help pay for school. The degree and networking can open doors.

To be an entrepreneur, the best use of funds is to just start a business. College - let alone MBA - is a waste of time and money. Lots of fun though but then so are many other activities :) With MOOC's, you can learn what you need for free or cheap. If you want to work for someone elses business, you can spend your time getting designations like CPA or CFA, cheaper without the elite degree. Some employers will cover costs of education
-
People do get MBA or higher education to have better chance of having high rank in an employment that would enable them to have great compensation that would pay back their spent getting their education. But seriously, just let people who want to get MBA to get MBA. :)))

MBA is too varied to be useful to me for anything other than connections / networking
