Last question first, yes, companies still pay for MBAs.

Second, the USC brand is bankable and will open doors to the companies that pay for MBAs so you might be able to get two degrees yet.

Third, congrats on the scholarship and loan options, which means a third party is confident enough in you to make tangible investments. $30,000 for your parents is reasonable, but you should shoulder the balance. And you should pay them back. Well done for reaching out for creative ways to finance your education.

That said, I believe you should go and don’t look back. Once you’ve settled in, try living by campus and taking a part time job if you can. In your situation, USC will be your next job, so stay focused and do not waste time partying, especially since you have another benefactor other than your parents investing in your future. Now get cracking :-)
