🙌🙌🙌QUESTION: What do you think of the MBA degree and do you think its as valuable today as it was 10 - 20+ years ago? If you have one, did it meet your expectations as far as giving you the tools and credentials to advance your career? Leave a comment down below! 👇👇👇

Doing my MBA now. It’s SO incredible just wish I did it earlier in my career! I’m loving everything about it. So much respect for MBA grads. It’s TOUGH.

MBA is definitely worth it. The connections I've made (professors, class, alumni), to doors opened for job make it one of the most transformative experiences in my life.

MBAs are making a resurgence with the older generation retiring. I also found one of the most important classes you will take is organizational behavior. The ability to understand and work with people in organizations

MBA is very worth it, and you will learn so many things. I will be graduating by October 2021 as MBA. Thank God!

I am 42 and now taking MBA because it's needed when we are in management level. My college background is mechanical engineering. Hopefully I can graduate in 2022. And also, taking MBA will open our network widely. Thanks Richard for the explanation...

I completed my MBA at UCLA in 2021 with a specialization in Technology Management. My undergraduate is in Computer Science and my goals align towards Director of Technology and later CIO or CTO. I loved the program at UCLA and made a lot of great connections, but most of all, I learned a lot. Much of what I learned in my courses I was able to turn around and immediately apply it to my position at the time. Very tough coursework for sure, but the benefits are worth it. I took on a new position early last year and asked my boss if my MBA played a factor in my hiring (I wanted to know my ROI) and he said that it was a factor in why they offered me the position.

I’ve worked at agencies in digital marketing where we’ve said NO to graduates with MBAs, even from some of the best Ivy League schools. Reason why was, they didn’t have the knowledge to actually do the technical work needed. That’s definitely a reason why I didn’t want to get my MBA, cause I saw it as not necessary. But, it wasn’t until about 5 years where, I’ve realized that an MBA will allow me to learn more about management and to communicate better to the C-Suite. An MBA to me, is worth it, if you have a foundation to build off of, and your MBA can support it. Having a BA and MBA with no experience... equals to no success -> just entry level work.

You realize that you expanded the words incentives matter into:”every decision a company makes or that a team within a company does so with a specific outcome in mind 😮

I’m currently in a fast paced one year MBA program at a AACSB accredited institution. So far, my experience has been positive and I see value in each class. My advise for people looking at the degree is to do your research on the different programs out there and understand the time commitment that will be required. I’d say that if you’re willing to put in the time and effort that is required, an MBA might be for you, but if you think it’s an easy way out, save your money and do something else.

Richard great video brother. I have a question tho, I really wanna own or lead big companies in future, innovation + leadership. I really do not know what I like or wanna do in business. I do not like paperwork, more doing stuff and planning and working practically with team towards the goal. What economic degree would suit me best MBA or something else?

I was accepted into Johns Hopkins MBA program! Excited to start this fall. Great video man, I learned a lot of new info that I didn't know. Thanks!

I definitely recommend an MBA it’ll help you in the long run once you get that experience! For the entrepreneurs out there it helps as well imo depending on much you want to scale. I own a small assisted living facility and a lot of lenders I talk to say an applicant with an mba in healthcare immensely increases their chances of funding.

My proudest achievement in school was getting an MBA. That does not imbue you with 1,000 of winning ideas for business success. Quite the contrary, it kind of squelches ideas...BUT it saves you a fortune, too. All the mistakes that naïve people make, such as poor investments, poor 'advisory services' paid for, useless goodwill purchases...we avoid all of that and keep ourselves upright and in the black. The MBA gives you your own counsel, just short of an attorney or a CPA, so you can count on someone trustworthy, i.e. you...

I got my MBA, and from a well respected school too, but I would caution everyone who thinks it is the Golden Ticket. No matter how good it is to have an MBA--and it's a good thing to have, don't get me wrong--nothing, but NOTHING trumps applicable experience in the job market! Those who tend to benefit the most from earning an MBA are generally those working there way up in their current organization or industry or those who can leverage a new MBA to get into the consulting field, where newly minted MBAs tend to make good money and learn highly coveted experience. Food for thought.

This was so helpful, Thank you so much !. I have an interview this week for Medical School and I am going for my MD and MBA. This was a great video for me to get my thoughts aligned and to prepare for when they ask me why I want both degrees.

Great video. I received my MBA in 2017 and am now going back for an MS in Business because of a cost opportunity and the fact that you get 2 grad certs during it. A video comparing an MBA to an MS in Business would be interesting.

This is very helpful. I am about to start the MBA program with emphasis in Healthcare Administration in a few months. I have a nursing background and my goal is to get up the ladder of the healthcare organization I am in. I am a bit nervous and excited because all my life I have my emergency nursing background but on the side I am an entrepreneur and I mostly have basic accounting, marketing and finance knowledge. Thanks for this video!

The best is to join Mckinsey when you just graduate with a BSc, they will pay a full MBA if you agree to come back to work for them a few more years, and knowing that you worked for McKinsey it's pretty much guaranteed to be admitted to Harvard, Standford, Kellog, Berkley, Georgetown, etc.

I'm currently a business administration student and this video give the reasons why I need to study MBA degree in the future.

I’m getting my MBA with an accelerated program. It definitely was the best decision I ever made.

I'm getting my MBA from my state school, OSU, and I like what you said about adding a specialization to stand out among other MBA candidates. I was thinking along the same lines and decided that I am getting a concentration in marketing analytics as well.

Thank you, very informative content. I have just graduated with 4.0 from one of Louisiana’s Universities. I also have an Associate degree in Accounting, but now leaning towards data science. I appreciate the information you have provided, particularly, on one of Louisiana’s programs.

Getting an MBA degree is not worth it for the majority of people. It's only worth it if you get into a great school, if your employer pays for it or you have an impressive resume already. While working in the investment and banking industry I worked along side people with MBA's who were making less than 50k. Employers care so much more about your work experience rather than your highest degree completed. I'm not saying don't go for it, but if you do be EXTREMELY careful and do a TON of research. Avoid low ranking and for profit schools. Just my two cents, thanks for the video!

I completed my MBA program in 2020. It was a great experience to meet new people who have a luxurious background. I work now as a senior accountant but have no use of MBA experience so far.

Very comprehensive review of MBA shared. Thanks.

My work is completely paying for my MBA, so it is worth it to me. But honestly if they weren't offering to pay for it I probably wouldn't do it.

very well put thank you. MBA, project management or commerce?..... 36 been welding for over 10 years, and ready to get out there and give a real go!

Some of us took prep courses for the GMAT and never scored over 600, thus we've put MBA dreams on hold for a very long time. Now I'm a new parent and as the family's primary earner, how do some of us go about earning a respectable MBA that isn't too costly, let alone something that can be done relatively quickly?

I’m highly Interested In getting an MBA for the Business Skills 🖊 as a Whole.

I am thinking of doing an MBA next year, but it might still be a bit early as I don't have a lot of work experience. Graduate level degrees are also a lot more expensive than bachelors, andI graduated without debt purely because of my sports scholarship.... I will see what I do. Thank you so much for this vid🙏

Thank you for sharing this video. I have a BFA in marketing & design and an MBA specializing in Management. I've had both of my degrees for 5+ years now. I am innovative motivational visionary with many ideas. I am not a fan of paperwork. I'm more functional and a strategist. Finding a career has been a challenge in that many employers want someone with experience or not willing to negotiate salary. My question is how do you gain experience if you are not given the opportunity to exemplify your KSA's? And with the current plight of things, and student debt, I want to avoid working in deficit. I mean why should it cost more to get to a job than what my take home pay would be. Hope I'm making sense. All the best to you and everyone. Stay safe and be well.

My MBA will be from a top 25 program (EMBA), and will be paid for by the Army, I think that makes for a worthwhile experience and ROI :). The EMBA part I’m a little nervous about since I am using the degree to pivot to a new type of role.

Do you need prior university degree in order to get an MBA or you can jump from Bachelor degree to MBA?

Thank you for this informative explaination of the MBA.

I don't have it and fuck the job market, I have already suffered to get my master Degree

I understand not not all MBA’s are equal but how can you tell what’s good or bad? My son is finishing his finance degree next year in Ohio. Case and Ohio State are ranked high but his school JCU is not ranked high but it is a good school. Should he go for ranking or stay at JCU MBA school?

Thank you so much for this video. It was very instructive.

Accounting, Finance, Marketing, SC, Process Management, Organziation, Leadership

I am now have my MBA course in China. That's pretty good. Besides of professional course we will have, we can make a acquisition in the school.

Ultimately, the employer hires the candidate, not just their degrees. Enhance your value as a candidate, not just degrees on paper

Am I able to earn my MBA without a business degree my background is architecture but throughout my experience I have learned I like the business side and management side which lead me to this video

" I will explain what an MBA is" next sentence : "by now it should be well known" . Smooth

Hi! I believe that an MBA could be a great supplement and a career-enhancer for certain types of jobs. I'm a norwegian guy, educated as a cook/chef, got a 2-year lower engineering-degree in food-science (mainly biologi and chemistry courses, with economics, marketing and leadership) and recently I finished law-school wich is a 5-year integrated masters degree over here. I've always had fulltime jobs on the side of my education (except from law-school where I worked 40-60% on the side). The main problem I've had with getting leadership-positions has been my lack of leadership-experience. And without that, I dont really think an MBA would help out a lot, because I would struggle to get the jobs where I actually could use and apply the knowledge I would gain by getting an MBA. The leadership-segment is competetive, and besides the qualities needed to get and keep a good managerial position, I feel like one would benefit from actually lacking several human traits, like compassion, honesty and dignity. This is oftenly an undercommunicated aspect when concidering wether you should get this type of a degree or not. Some people simply dont have the stomack to do what's necessairy to get there, regardless if they do or do not have an MBA. Personally, I've seen numerous (especially younger) leaders, continously taking credit for other peoples work, putting blame for their own mistanke onto others and so forth to create an image of being perfect, to persuade their superiors that they are indeed the one who is the most fit for leadership of the group. So to sum it up. I really do believe that the first step should be to get some leadership-experience, before deciding wether an MBA is something you should get or not.

Taking MBA is the most important thing I ever did in my life, Graduating in December this year

Just a heads up, you might seem overqualified too for a job if you have an MBA degree. This can lead to difficulties when finding work, just something to keep in mind.

Im 35 been working since i was 18 worked hard not smart and now i want and need to get my MBA. I want to give it the time.

wowww this vid was something I needed! thank you for the great content

Will be an MBA graduate next month. Yes it's hard, yes it took a lot of sacrifice. God Bless.

Hello Richard! I start my MBA program next month with two specialties in Enterprise Risk Management and Insurance. I’m also applying to law school next year. I’m a licensed property and casualty adjuster, life and health insurance agent and paralegal. I feel an MBA will give me an advantage working with insurance defense law firms. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks 4 this. Im also doing mine what an interesting degree im enjoying my Organisation Behaviour module particularly scenario and problem solving

Do you have an MBA? Before i start watching this?

Thanks for the content. Im strongly considering to quit my job and start my MBA in September. Already doing to apply

Great channel Richard keep it coming new supporter here let’s grow 🚀

I have BSC in Mass communication and I am about to do masters in Business administration. This video was helpful, thanks.

I've completed BBA and MBA in Accounting & Information Systems.

I have a BS in comp sci and was a software engineer for 3 years. Then i ran my own biz for 2.5 years and now work as an engineer manager. Im considering getting an mba but very undecided...

I'm going to do an MBA as well, can't believe it took me this long to make up my mind. 😢

Im so glad i changed russian for MBA as a subject i will do exams of next year

The original MBA was intended to give engineers the tools to clime the corporate ladder. Companies like Microsoft, GE and General Motors in the 80’s and 90’s gave the modern MBA the popularity you see today. Also, if you wanted to get into investment banking back in the day but attended a liberal arts school for undergrad, getting an MBA from a school like Wharton would give you the accounting and finance background that you would need.

Master business administration vs master in international business... what would you rather? Leave your comment below

Respect for making the content subtitled into Arabic ❤️

When I was at University (2004 - 2008) there was a running joke that an MBA was the program you did when your dad wanted to give you a six-figure salary but you weren't smart enough for a useful Masters.

Do you need a bachelor degree to get it ?

I currently working in Deloitte, I'm an industrial engineer, I am thinking in applying to a MBA in Europe or maybe Canada or USA but I am quite afraid of quiting my job I dont know if would worth it

Thank you for the video, I did EMB 2020, with no work experience, still looking for a job.

Hi , Is a online Global MBA program from University of western Australia(UWA) worth doing ?

What’s more powerful an MBA degree or 20 years experience

Hi, thanks for this video! Question: I come from a technical background and, since I am passionate about business, I am considering to complement my stem degree with an mba. My main concern is that, career progress apart, the content of the typical mba seems to be mainly about business common sense. I might be wrong. Do you think that the informations you learn in such programs are valuable even if you already have a decent level of business acumen and knowledge about the basics of finance, accounting and marketing?

I take MBA online now ,actually I don’t know where am I ,because my bachelors was in English literature online and MBA also online from bahcesehir university and I don’t have any work experience at all , I don’t know what should I do after graduation.،Dear experts any advices ?

I have completed my bachelors and Masters in Chinese language & culture and now planning for an MBA. I'm quite confused. Oh by the way I have worked in mobile phone industry for around 3 years and particularly worked in product & consumer research for a lot of time.

That was super helpful. Actually, i am doing my MBA . I was very enthusiastic at the beginning but now I do not feel it is worth the investment. Reading all the criticisms directed to MBA degree makes me feel defeated.

Such a great video! I graduated with a Hospitality and Tourism Degree two years ago and I’ve been in management for this field for a few years now. Now, I want to change industries and go into finance. Do you think it would be ideal to get an MBA or an MS in Finance? I don’t have any experience in finance so although I have management experience I know I would still have to start off at an entry level position.

I own a succesful restaurant that I opened in my late twenties. I do not have an undergrad degree, let alone an MBA. I have friends with MBA's who have not seen a good ROI on their degree at all. Industry experience and innate business sense are far more important than formal education when it comes to entrepreneurship.

What do you think about "Quantic Business School" MBA, it's 10k only, I've started it but there are no assignment or group assignment or live lecture it's a simple choice of question answers that you keep trying until you get right.

I’m thinking about going to an MBA seminar, which is around 10 grand, do you think it’s worth it I am an equity day trader… But I know in the long-term eventually I’m going to be simply just an investor with the capital leverage that I’ve created through all the years of daytrading… But I feel like you can’t go wrong with an MBA seminar because all you’re dealing with companies all day… But anyways what are your thoughts?

Commerce undergrad here. I don't see much value in an MBA since 90% of the courses in an MBA I have to take in commerce already. I love my program but I think MBA are more for people who did not get the opportunity to learn business.

Very clear to me

I came across this channel for guidance on getting an MBA. I am already accepted into a fully online one at the same college that I got my Bachelors from. The reason I would like to go for one because I am having no luck in the current job market finding a job despite a full resume and an internship under my belt. Do you recommend I go for the MBA if it's a general business one and not a specialization one? My bachelor's degree is Business Administration/Marketing, thanks!

I have to yet gain experience but I want to start my preparation now slow and steady for LBS MBA. How would you suggest I strive forward. I have an engineering degree so I am.not versed with business terminologies etc.

This is relative to my major. I use this career on my personal usage.

23 and Doing Mba anyone??

I live in small town and have some business ideas that I feel will help improve the community as a whole. Will an MBA give me tools necessary to properly talk to the right people and complete the right paperwork to get started? I understand the MBA will help afterwards in operations and functionality. 🙏

The company where I work funded 100% of my dual MBA.

I am exploring the idea of starting my MBA but I’m more interested in the entrepreneurial side of business such as investing, start ups, process strategy. I feel like I sort of pigeon holed myself with my undergrad as a Nonprofit management and leadership major and I’m struggling to figure out what the best graduate program is for me so I don’t make that mistake again. Any advise?

im graduadating on nov on master on business administration on management. what jobs i can get? help me find a job

Is it worth doing an MBA with a mechanical engineering bachelor’s degree?

Thank you for the information! My question is: i'm a accounting student and i'll graduate next year, but i have plan to continue my education. Can i apply for MBA degree without experience? Hope you can answer this, thank you!🥺

Very insightful video as an 18 year old who is long term career planning. If there’s any way to reach out to you personally I would love that!

Do I need to have a bachelors in business before I apply to MBA programs? Or can I apply to a program wish a different bachelors? I have my bachelor’s in nursing

Hi... Can you Help me?? i am completing my bachelor course in pharmacy and now i am very confused weather i go for master in pharmacy or MBA in pharmacy or Normal MBA.. Really need a advice and help.. thank u

Hello! Thank you for this informative video, I appreciate it so much. What’s your opinion about the John Hopkins MBA degree?

Hmmm thoughts on an engineer getting an MBA?? I'm electrical engineer thinking of getting one. My thoughts is just that it would open doors to more senior level jobs higher pay and I would go the route of technical marketing, supply chain or just engineering management. Always at a tech company where I can still leverage engineering degree to be of more value. I think marketing at apple lets say would pay exceptionally well. As would a sales engineer or some business-tech Hybrid at a electronics distributor.

Do you think it’s better to have a degree in business first then an MBA as like an add-on so that I can get a better salary in that specific field? Or just an MBA-focused is enough? I’m planning to study Business Administration for 4 years but i dont know if I can get a job after graduate

Hi, Richard great video. Quick question though. I am a tourism professional and I'm thing of enrolling for a MBA in Tourism or a MBA in Natural Resource Management. In your opinion which would be more competitive?
