a little WGU MBA review....

[rebel100]

Nice! Good for ya rebel! BTW are you still going to be rebelin' w/ MBA after your name (J/K)

Do you feel that you've got a lot more knowledge base and the general sense of MBA "worth it". I don't mean the letters behind your name, but the actual concept of being one and what it stands for. Please forgive me if i'm not expressing my thoughts clearly. It sure is one big mush in my head, at least for now. I'm starting WGU MBA next February, God willing. The are many naysayers, particularly on fora like this one who are saying that distance learning degree, even though legit won't be taken seriously in "real world". I think it's bunch of BS and academic worth of this degree will get you only so far. I'm like you, agewise and also in the industry I'm in for over 20 years. But when I hear all this talk ( University-based vs online only).... just wondering.......as far as the "stuff" you need to know to be a good MBA? Do they compare well. Do you feel like you've got the things you were looking for knowledge-wise? Sorry to bombard you with all this sstupid questions. But I'd rather ask someone who has actually done it, than someone who thinks they know it.

Thank You rebel again.

I feel very confident that the WGU MBA has made me a better manager able to view the bigger picture in ways I didn't fully understand before. I even find myself speaking differently on some issues than I ever have in the past. The things I learned in Financial Analyses and Decision Analyses alone where worth the price of admission...excellent information in those, take your time and really absorb those two.

....yes, I'm quite pleased with my "MBA" knowledge at this point.
