TLDR: I needed an MBA to transition out of career path & then 2008 happened.
My interesting journey after getting an MBA:
-Received my MBA 2007, just a year before the full blown financial crisis. I needed an MBA to transition out adverting/marketing.
-2009-2011 Couldn't find a job. My MBA was in Finance. Taught myself to program financial algorithms. (php/MySql)
-2012 Became a coder, programmer, software developer. Made good money programming other people's dumb ideas. No risk, no suits and ties and very few meetings.
-2018 Not going to become the CTO at Google or Facebook. Being a Code Monkey is "meh", but I have to work on my own projects at night to be intellectually challenged. Now looking for a job where I can implement programming knowledge while at the same time work more with the business side. There always seems to be a certain lack of communication between the software side and the business side.
