Is MBA worth it?

[Ja Rhule]

Trust me, there are many reasons to live here. Many construction workers get paid now per completion basis. That's why they work from 7am to 9pm, 6-7 days a week. mexicans usually live together, 5-7 people per 2 bedroom apartment. They try to make as much money as they can and then go back. Now, they can live in US, they no longer have work their ass off. They can strive for higher pay. Who's gonna work on farms and build houses and do other dirty work? I know not Americans... Other illegals will. Also, newly legalized Hispanics are now free to file paperwork on their relatives behalf to become legals. So over next 10 years u will see steady inflow of people from Mexico.

Baby Boomers are not going to retire they will work until they die.  Most cant afford to retire.

Baby boomers in high end positions can retire.

True but a lot them choose not to til they are forced out. 

 

 

Also Private Pilots license is cheaper than a MBA.  Now a commericial pilots license is defiantly not worth it.

MBA - depends, if you want to to go for a Director(or high level Mgmt) level position then the pay grade increase will probably support the investment $ for your MBA. But you need to have a position targetted before you start. Don't just say, I think I'll get a MBA because it'll look good on my resume.

 

Depending on your career field, with a Masters in (i.e.) Mechanical or Electrical Engineering you could write your own ticket and still work your way up.

Sure, a private pilot license is somewhere in the neighborhood of $6-8k. But there's a helluva lot more to it than that.

 

First of all, it's not going to help in any way, shape or form in getting a higher paying job.

Second, it'll likely become more costly than an MBA very quickly afterward getting the license as you start paying a couple hundred an hour to rent a decent aircraft to keep your hours current...

Third, although I fly all over the place, I'd rather spend the money sailing... there are far more planes in the oceans than there are boats in the sky... lol

Very true on the last part.  lol  Yeah renting a airplane can be expensive but I was thinking she was wanting to do it for adventure. 

 

 

Im looking into taking sailing classes myself right now.

Her "adventures" always seem to be rather expensive:

* The private scuba lessons for both of us in our pool...

* Her taking the motorcycle course, getting the license, buying a bike so she wouldn't have to ride w/me... then selling it once she figured out she cannot focus 100% on riding when she did go out. Always business on her mind...

* The MBA

* Bondurant School of High Performance Driving (won't ride a bike, but will drive a Vette at 160mph...)

 

Glad she got that MBA, actually, she probably couldn't afford all this poo without it...
