What's a reasonable amount to pay for an MBA?

Um riiight okay so it’s applicable to the .001% of b-school students that will come from CVS/Walgreens, you really got me there!

You aren’t under the assumption that all PharmDs work for a retail pharmacy are you? You must not be an informed individual.

Also, I had a friend in HS whose mom was the pharmacist at the local Brooks - had been for 20+ yrs - and she pulled in nothing close to 200k. Actually the family seemed relatively poor. A quick google search tells us the average pay in the profession to which you aspire is 100k, so stop inflating the #s.

Did she choose to work 30-36 hours a week for that 100k or did she take on about 60-72 hours a week? If you’re practicing, there is an extremely high correlation between hours worked and income.

You know nothing about me, so don’t pretend like you do.

We hear this all the time. How old are you? It’s always the “young’ns” that say something to this effect.

You have no work experience and haven’t applied to or been to b-school so you really can’t contribute anything.

I suppose my 2+ years in the service does not count as “work experience”…

I’ll revise my previous statement to say: you are mediocre at a slightly above average school.

Again, is GPA > 3.0 in a graduate/doctoral program “mediocre”? That’s quite a stretch there.

Bottom line, you have done nothing that would qualify you to give advice about business school. It is unlikely that you will even ever be able to go to a half decent one. So please, for everyone’s sake, STOP IT WITH THE RIDICULOUS JUVENILE POSTS. Having gone back and read some of your old posts, I would say you’re generally a cancer on this forum. Let the people who know what they’re taking about do the talking.

If you’re an intelligent being and have read some of my old posts, do you really think that I will do what you want me to do? The answer to that question is obvious so you’d save yourself a lot of trouble and save the environment by using fewer electrons by trying to stop what is going to happen anyways.</p>

<p>In the end it’s about making money because that’s one of the most important aspects about business. It wouldn’t be business if we’re not in it for the profit, it would be charity. I’m a huge advocate of the ends justifying the means. I really don’t care about the prestige of the degree, only what it may enable me to do. If that is a BS for someone so be it. If that requires an MBA, the whatever.
I don’t attack the way someone wants to achieve that goal. I only highlight the risks they may encounter and if they succeed, that’s great. Some people find that as a personal insult but it most definitely is not. However, once their personal attacks start, I can’t help but assist them in hijacking the thread because I could care less as you can tell.</p>
