<prompt> Human: Currently approaching 2 years out of college with a degree in Finance doing corp finance in Aerospace and Defense industry. I have a feeling sticking to this niche industry will be valuable so I stayed within it when I job hoped after my first year into this new position with a larger company. However, Im in a more remote area now which Im not exactly loving. While I develop my skills in this new role Im starting to think about getting my MBA to launch me forward into a better area with a bigger company Lockheed or Boeing since I have a lot of time on my hands, but I know I only have 1 shot at the MBA and want to get the most value out of it. rMBA knocks online MBA programs, but Im not looking to change career fields.Do any of you have experiences positivenegative with how you handled your early career and if that was impacted by when you got your MBA and from where?  <response>: MBAs really are a dime a dozen. The era of getting an MBA and it leading to promotions or career progression was over 20 years ago. There are only two cases where it makes sense to get an MBA:1 Your employer is paying for it and there is a clear internal progression path for people who get their MBA post-graduation. OR2 You get admitted into a T10 program. Then its fine to pay the 150k its going to cost.There really is no other case for an MBA. They just arent worth it. 95 of programs exist to make schools money and provide nothing in terms of reputation or connections. I know people in secretary positions at the local university who have MBAs from the university they work for - which has a no namebottom ranked program.
