I hear a lot of people saying an MBA is useless. Is it worth doing because it’s only 2ish years and is more expensive than law school at many colleges.
What are your guys thoughts on this and do you guys recommend it for networking and other things?

Friend met his wife through mba at gsb. He said it wasn't uncommon. I guess it makes sense if you think about it, most people there are career driven, make a certain amount of $, similar age somewhat, etc
Now whether it's "worth" - entirely dependent on your situation beforehand. If you feel stuck and can get into M7/T10, go for it. But it's also not a free ticket either.
Does getting your MBA help you recruit for IB analyst Jobs because some people in other threads said that they are useless for recruiting.
MBAs are geared toward associate level roles, not analyst level (any reputable program requires 2+ years of full time experience). Since it also sounds like you’re still in high school, you really shouldn't be worrying about b school until at least sophomore or junior year of college.
Met some of my best friends at business school. Even if it didn't help me with my career (which it definitely did), it was worth it just for the people I met and the experiences.
