Oxford, Harvard, INSEAD, Chicago Booth, LBS - all for an MBA!

Leaving Morgan Stanley to do an MBA; becoming an MD and MBA at the same time; managing to party and network with colleagues at the same time - these five have done it all! After graduating from Oxford, each went on to do an MBA at some of the top B-schools including Harvard, LBS, INSEAD and Chicago Booth. Know their story, why they decided to pursue an MBA and where it has got them now (some amazing places trust me!). Read their story and watch the panel discussion on the BusinessBecause website at http://www.businessbecause.com/mba-admissions/whe…. It'll be well worth it!

Great stuff. All this b-school hatred is so overblown and not based on facts. An MBA from a top degree is extremely useful even if you already are successful and don't HAVE to get one. It sharpens your analytical and communication skills and offers exposure to all aspects of business. And for those wanting to switch careers, an MBA has all but become a necessity.

 

I absolutely agree! Many think an MBA won't add much, but they are quite wrong. Not just for changing fields, but also for some good networking, learning and broadening your horizons - an MBA from some top university can go a long way!
