<prompt> Human: What are your thoughts on taking out loans to go to Business School full time vs. going part time while working. Going part time while working has the obvious benefits of income while attending school, and even better if your company will help with tuition. But are there bigger pros to going full time shorter time in school, networking opportunities, etc. that would outweigh the cons of going into debt?  <response>: Got my MBA from a top 3 school. Worked out in terms of career, but mostly due to the network I got from it was hired by my friends former boss, who was also an alum of my school, even though I didnt have directly relevant experience. If youre going to a top 7 or so MBA, its worth the debt to go full time since the partying and what not pays off in terms of network. I still spend time with my friends from bschool in the area and theyve introduced me to other friends that they work with. If its not a top school, its just a credential that gives you an extra leg up and shows breadth of knowledge. Ive also seen it used to transition from technical specialist roles engineersdoctors to adminmanagement roles. Either way, go part time and minimize debt.
