How did you/are you planning to pay for your MBA?

I'm trying to evaluate between working on campus, getting an internship during my first year, or finding freelance work (ex-IB).

Would be interested to see how others have done it. I'm trying to stay away from loans, and I've already maxed my scholarships but still have some chunks left.

 

Fairly unpopular but you could always work during a portion of the mba especially with how WFH is becoming more acceptable. If job isn’t too demanding, might be able to even swing a full time job class schedule permitting

 

If you’re planning to stay in a finance role post MBA, why not stick to the American way and just take out student loans? One of the whole points to an MBA is getting a break from work so I don’t know why you would dilute the experience doing some side gig for cash. You should hopefully have some savings + pay from an internship to get you through as well
