WGU MBA-HM first impressions and ongoing comments

One Master's down, one to go!

Congratulations on finishing your MBA

It's a shame that you ended up having so many problems with that task, I had one of those for mine also but my mentor said that there was no requirement that it be an actual company in existence or one that I worked at. So I had a relative create an imaginary company (so it was technically their idea and thus they were the owner), we created its imaginary financial problems and all its numbers, and then I just interviewed her about changes she wanted to make, and worked from there.

The task that caused the most logistical problems for me in my MBA (IT concentration) at WGU was that my capstone also involved a group business simulation... and the group I was with was full of problem people. I ended up having to get an extension of time and permission to leave the group (and do all the group parts on my own) because the other group was unable to get it together and understand what they needed to do to score well on the simulation.

Like you said though, it's a check the box prerequisite degree for anything managerial, and the WGU experience makes it mostly painless.
