Patten MBA Review

[burbuja0512]

Thanks for posting all the info.

Since you have a lot of business experience, I would assume that you're getting the MBA to enhance your career, not necessarily start from scratch in a new industry. In that case, I wouldn't worry too much. However an MBA is a very long time. In my case, I spent more time in the MBA program than I ever did on my undergrad. It's a long time if you're not totally comfortable. And you should be proud when you're done and feel happy singing the praises of your MBA from the rooftops.

Ok, maybe that's a bit much, but if you want the MBA to help your career in any way, you should feel good about it. You should also have an idea of what makes Patten special. I have found that no one really cares about my undergrad, but once you put a graduate degree on a resume, recruiters and future employers really do ask. So, you need to feel great talking about it, and it sounds like you don't.

I would recommend either really "selling yourself" on the degree so you can be enthusiastic for future employers, or consider a different option that you are excited about. Either way is fine, but do be excited about your school or program. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time getting employers excited.
