Best value MBA

[smartdegree]

I cannot add much to this discussion. For me, I found value in spending $60K+ for a degree from Duke University Fuqua School of Business. However, it also has me connected with the President and CEO of US Polo Global Licensing Inc, the Director of Data Science at Walt Disney, and so much more. Would others find value in that? Maybe not. However, I would have spent $100K on the degree for it.

Just curious how you are using those connections and if any of them have led you to a tangible $ benefit/gain (e.g. you were able to sell your services to them, got a job because of them, etc)? Or is the value you mention tied solely to the prestige or coolness factor of having those people on your linkedin? Like being friends with your high school's jocks or being part of an old boys country club?
