So you want an M7 MBA?

Basically dude travels from Dubai to Chicago every other weekend for the Executive MBA program at Kellog.

Would you do it?

Good post Happy. I read this article earlier today (ironically) and was shocked at the effort he was putting into getting his MBA. Part of me likes his dedication but as MMM alluded to, you wonder what it's really worth in the long run. I suppose it's great if you're bored, but that is a massive amount of time spent traveling, not to mention the cost.

I also don't know how I would justify traveling from DC to Texas every other week just to save $20,000. I mean, that is a decent amount of money, but at some point you have to put a price tag on your time and the inconvenience of traveling, etc. Makes me feel like she didn't get accepted and had no other choice.

Regards
