How much can an MBA help me in the long run for my intended career change?

career change
willnyu1982 asked:


I work in investment banking and make just below six figures right now. I want to go and get my MBA and pursue a marketing career, but for what I’m planning on doing I will most likely take a hefty paycut, expecting to make around $50k. By having an MBA, do you think I will benefit in the long run?

    There are varying opinions on this. I have an MBA and I’m glad that I do, but my background was engineering and I needed more business education. I prefer formal education, because it helps accelerate the learning curve, I’m good at taking courses, writing and taking tests and I like the environment exposing you to new people and ideas.

    In the end thought, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

    For another viewpoint, you should check out Dan Kennedy. He’s a copywrighter and off-the-wall style marketer, who believes that formal education can taint/ruin you.

    You might go to a professional convention in the field your interested in marketing to and speak with vendors and marketers there for insights.

    Just so you know, there are two schools-of-thougth wrt formal education and marketing.

    Natuurlijk. Na een MBA opent veel deuren voor je, en hij staat je zeker maak je de overgang van IB bij de markt brengen van een veel gladder. Simpel gezegd, zult u een zeer moeilijke tijd breken in de handel met niet meer dan een graad undergrad en IB ervaring … maar met een MBA en een zomer stage in de handel brengen, wordt u vele malen beter af.
