If God gave you the opportunity to do a Harvard Undergraduate business degree BUT you are already graduated and working and OLD

If God gave you the opportunity to do a Harvard Undergraduate business degree BUT you are already graduated in business and are old, would you?

You need to start over the 4 year degree and you will be even older when you graduated.
eg, 30 ---> 34 (graduate)

 

You would indeed need God for this favor as I do not think Harvard offers an undergrad business degree.

Seriously though it totally depends on what you got going on for yourself: if you are in a dead-end non-career job you don't like with few alternative opportunities, this might be a good restart. If you have a half-decent career (say F500 accounting junior manager at 30 with a shot at making senior manager / director at some point) it probably makes no sense, not least because when you explain to potential employers you repeated undergrad at 30 for the sake of "prestige" they will think you are crazy.

 

If God also gave me Jedi powers I would do it. That way I could use the Harvard degree to get interviews, and I could use Jedi mind trick to persuade people to hire me.

So you asking a question that you null and voided at two different times during said question.
