Is ugrad + masters + MBA too much education these days?
ugrad (semi) + masters (target) + MBA (target) and under the assumption I will break into top IB out of ugrad
Main reason for pursuing masters is that I want to do it in a certain country (non-US) and so build connections in that geography before doing MBA in US
Seems like MBA is getting less and less relevant in this climate and a masters degree is an additional 2 years of youth life spent in education
Is the 4 additional years of schooling (master+mba) really that bad considering I'll live to like 85 and my career will be another 60+ years? Even though I'm not that much of a prestige whore, I get the feeling that the cachet is important enough to some people I would be doing business with in the future
ugrad: econ + apmath
masters: idk econ but open to anything because all i care about is geography/network or maybe geared towards industry I want to go into eventually
mba: top 7 hopefully
Without being a whore to peter thiel, my current stance follows "all rhodes scholars had a great future in their past" in the sense that the amount of years in education is irrelevant since it is mostly the person anyway (obv im not going to be a rhodes scholar)

That was always too much education.
You make a whole thread about education and don't mention once what you're pursuing your 1st masters in.
updated (but clearly not specific)
There is no reason to get this masters degree. Just do undergrad +IB experience + MBA.
It isn't bad at all to do 4 additional years of schooling. In my program, there are a number of people that have a masters degree, though they are the minority.
You should know that they don't have an advantage over the non-masters people in recruiting. In recruiting, your professional experience and your
character traits are the most important characteristics.
So my advice would be, totally ok to do 4 additional years of schooling. Make sure though that both the Master and the MBA are done in top schools. If you can't attend top schools, choose one of them.
Let me know if that helps.
No - they are relevant - and top 10 MBA programs have established career pipelines and 90%+ job placement rates.
