Just to add another option-
A trend I've seen over the past decade in corp mid mgmt is the JD. Even in research depts you will find a MD/JD/MBA or PharmD/JD or PhD/MBA; it just brings different areas of specialty to the table. I can attest the folks with multiple letters behind their names get paid a LOT more money. Also these folks are usually, more often than not, mentored into leadership positions. In my world, Pharma, the Directors/VPs/Presidents usually either have multiple degrees, OR, are Oxford, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Wharton graduates. At my last company the CEO was an Oxford bachelor's graduate. The man was also a billionaire, but who's counting $. (Whether the majority want to admit it or not, there are privileges certain univ degrees/elite afford-wink.)
