I feel similarly to these 2 individuals. My MBA education opened me up to individuals from different educational background, different cultural backgrounds and overall a different perspective on things than I have. The time and cost was definitely worth it. It took me just under 2 years to complete my MBA and it cost around $13,000. Looking at the fact I went into banking as a teller and within 2 years I am now an Assistant Vice President and over an entire department of our financial institution just shows me how beneficial the degree was.
