Is an MBA worth it? (alien.top)

I am thinking of going into business and would like to get an MBA. I have 8 years of experience writing software professionally and a background in CS. My goal is to learn about business, running them, scaling them, raising money, etc.

Will getting an MBA help me achieve this goal?

To be fair, any form of learning is great. But, getting an MBA can be costly.

Since you mentioned that you want to learn how to run a business, getting an MBA might be a great fit. But, have you considered getting into other less costly programs first, like business management?

Anyway, here’s a great resource article that might help you decide whether getting an MBA is worth it. It has statistics on the cost vs. ROI of getting an MBA, salary and employment statistics of MBA graduates, and other facts on MBA programs and graduates. You can try checking it out:
