you are going back to school to meet friends? so the mba has nothing to do with your career opps?

Reread your post and imagine someone else wrote that. What would you think of their thought process and what advice would you give that person?

That is a pretty terrible idea. There are a lot of good ways to spend money and time and this is not one of them

Haha, if you really do make this ridiculous move, do yourself a favor and go to Pepperdine. At least you'll have some babes to look at while pissing away time and money.

I thought it sounded crazy reading it, but then I re-read it and got two points:

1) I don't think he's a native english speaker. Look closely at the grammar and you'll recognize tell-tale signs that come from one geographic region in particular.

2) Once we know that, it's not hard to figure out that by "meet friends", he means that what he really means is "I want to expand my network".

Phrase it that way and it doesn't quite as ridiculous, since the MBA degree is one that you usually get for recognition, brand name, and (maybe, depending on your career field) on-campus recruiting opportunities rather than the curriculum.

Why don't you make friends at an elite MBA? two birds, one stone

I would prefer to make friends on eharmony for only $20/month

You want to make friends? Try Craigslist.

Since when is a UPenn State degree valuable
