I'm sort of toying with the idea of getting an MBA. So far I've limited my search to Ontario schools (just out of simplicity more than anything else). The cost of the various programs are basically the same and the better schools are all properly accredited so international recognition of the degree is pretty much assured. Most of the schools I'm interested in offer things like international semesters, profs who have real world experience, decent ratio of faculty to student etc.
To TERBites who have an MBA or are in the process of getting one, what would you do differently (if anything) in choosing a school? For those who have an MBA, do you find that your earning power is such that it offsets both the costs of doing it as well as the disruption to your life while you were in the program? Would you realistically be where you are now sans MBA? Can you honestly say that you learned a lot and could only learn what you did in an MBA program?
Any words of wisdom from the TERB collective?
