[quote=UCGal]I don’t disagree – the grad apartments are a much better deal.[/quote]
UCGal, speaking of grad students, your “friends” that went back to school for their MBA’s, as you referred to here:
[quote=UCGal]b-school = business school, more specifically, an MBA (vs undergrad.) Enough of my friends have gone to “b-school” and changed careers, I thought the term was pretty widely known…[/quote](emphasis added)
. . . did they actually obtain jobs with their MBA degrees (or raises at work commensurate with possessing an MBA)? How old were they when they graduated with an MBA? How old when they got a promotion at work due to the new degree? Did any have to relocate in order to land employment utilizing their *new* degree?
I don’t personally qualify for MBA candidacy but was just wondering if going to all this trouble (and cost) at this late date was actually worth it for them . . . monetarily . . . because IMO, that’s really the ONLY consideration when you are nearing the end of your working life and preparing for retirement.
