Rather, go get a skill that can be used to build something. If you're talented for management, you don't need an MBA - it will come as part of your experience and interpersonal skills. Everything important taught in an MBA program can be learned later in your career as a by-product of simply being part of a good organization.
- GFischer 14y agoDon't underestimate the skills taught at good MBA programs. However, I'd say that the way to go is to get a position which requires those skills first, some experience, and THEN do an MBA-type program - you'll get far more out of it. Maybe you can learn such skills as a by-product, but doing so in an organized and challenging way is useful by itself.
