Hi, guys, I have been a laboratory manager in Colorado for 2 years, I am now finding a way out of the lab/bench work into business development or marketing. the pay is ok, but I am just getting sick of lab/hospital/technical stuffs. I am currently looking at MBA in marketing; however, my local schools are not nearly as good as top tier or even second tier… should I even bother applying to them now? (University of Colorado @ denver, boulder, university of denver) as I understand, top tier = top 20-30? second tier = top 50? those schools I mentioned are about 100-150… :S

also, how is the job market looks like for BS bio/MBA grads? I kinda don’t want to be holding a MBA degree and still doing the same job I am doing now. I used to be a sales rep for 2-3 years about 10 years ago (non-bio/pharma); don’t think that will help with my resume at all…

Thanks a lot
