MBA OR 30,000 job?
Hello,
I need some sound advice for the wise men...... I'm currently unemployed (laid off) and vigorously seeking employment. I'm about half-way through my MBA and have 6 classes left
. Well my question is, should I accept a job that has a great deal of career potential, or should I finish my MBA? Even if I do take the job, I will still finish my MBA but it might take a little bit longer. And no, the MBA will not give me a pay increase.
Pros
No Family
Career Growth
Job with benefits
Cons
Leaving School and pre long my graduation (only a year from graduating)
I have to pay out of pocket in order to relocate
The job only pays 30,000, but there's a great deal of opportunity for growth.
(WHAT WOULD YOU DO) Take the job or stay in school?

I'd say finish the MBA. There's usually a 5 year time limit to complete all classes. You may be able to apply for an extenstion like I did for my MBA, took 5 1/2 years to do it part time and I enjoyed it. I also heard DAL likes graduate degrees.
A Dutch Uncle once told me, "don't change jobs until the economy gets better." I guess he meant you will be able to get a better salary, benefits, etc, etc. There was a current article in the paper where they said 50% of employees want to change jobs/companies once the market gets better.
When the economy is slow it is better to "park" in school.
