Second bachelors for my sister?

[Jonathan Whatley]

Why go for a second bachelor's and not an MBA?

She doesn’t have much work experience outside retail/food service. She doesn’t want to get an MBA without some relevant work experience first. Feels like the masters could work against her

Maybe this is a case for a non-MBA master's in management, like UMPI's MAOM, WGU's MSML, or Illinois' MSM (and the latter two can be laddered to that school's MBA).

Professionally do you think getting an MSM or MSML would be viewed differently by employers than an MBA?

So far as you or she are concerned that an MBA at this stage in her career might be a bit 'much,' I think an MSM, etc. would come across as more modest, more commensurate with someone in the process of moving up from operations to management.
