>> It depends where you are in your career, where you're working.
I would actually would probably council against it if possible.
Because in my view, I mean Warden was great.
I have a lot of good friends still probably more friends from work
than I do from Penn State at this point.
But you know I learned a bit which, you know
at this point I've forgotten everything I've learned but it's kind of a stamp,
for me I had to do it to get to Wall Street.
But you know it takes you out of the job market for 2 1/2 years.
It costs a lot of money and if I had, if there was a way for me to end up where I am today
without the MBA I wouldn't have done it.
So I think that if you're in sales and trading you definitely don't need it.
You know if you're on Wall Street right
after undergrad I don't think you need it unless your firm tells you
to go get an MBA, I would go ahead and do it.
The other thing I would say which I think is critical is
if you're going to do it, go to a top school.
Go to a top 10 school.
Because I think getting an MBA from,
you know a lesser known say top 100 school does not add much value in my field.
I think if that was your only choice, my council would be to continue working and figure
out a different way to where you want to go.
