> Their life experience was so limited At what point in their careers did they go get an MBA? My fiancée went to Kellogg and it was a rarity to see anyone there who didn't already have 5+ years of work experience. It was sort of an unspoken (but kind of spoken, since the M7 all highly suggest it) rule.

What was her # of years of experience and industry before getting the MBA? (developer? engineer?)
- diminoten 8y ago
  Non-profit policy work in DC and the standard 5 years. She moved into retail with her MBA.

    Managing retail companies? Any reason why the move to non-profit? (Mis-management horror stories in the non-profit industry?)

      It's way faster to make changes to how, say, cotton is grown when you're the US's largest retailer and can set new rules for who you'll buy from, than if you're trying to convince congress to pass a law.

        That's smart. I hope more people think and act like her.

Their experience was pretty limited... at best. I fear the program they were in was just churning out MBAs / students whose experience was internships and maybe some "work".
