Unending desire to go back to school

[mustangguy289]

Damn now I feel good about my 10K/yr reimbursement. What the hell is 2k going to pay for short of basics at a juco?

Do they require you to stay a certain amount of years after completion?

I believe my work pays 5k/yr reimbursement and i heard that you have to continue to work here for 3 yrs or pay it back.

I need to get some information about that OSU program from you.

Just one year or I have to pay back what I've received in the last 12 months. If I left I would negotiate that in as a signing bonus or something. With a 4.0 I don't think that would be too hard.

I'll give ya any info you need!

My current job pays 100% of public, and 80% of private. Anything over $10k requires approval, but its not hard to get.

Matt, I've been in the same position and I'm waiting just to see where it looks like my path may go before jumping into something. I'd rather have something that I know I can use, especially at the out of pocket price you are talking.

I was hot on the MBA wagon for a while, but I'm not so sure about it anymore.

Matt, I don't see why you're not teaching. I think you'd enjoy teaching mechanical engineering, and remember, extracurricular consulting = insane side money. There was a mathematics professor at Tarleton doing cryptography projects for the Navy for an extra $300k a year. Surely there are engineering projects that would pay just as much.

Noooooooo, teaching isn't for me.
I love that half of my job is spent in offices and conference rooms designing, supporting, giving presentations etc, but i also really love that the other half is out in the field. Anything in academia would kill my ability get hands on with all of my engines, dataloggers, oily/greasy workboots, etc.

I spent a lot of time yesterday talking to one of my acct mgrs and my gf about all of this. Combining my history/rep here (hell, they made me an engr manager at 26 lol), my technical speaking/writing skills, and general business sense, I'm thinking that pidgeonholing myself deeper into engineering might not be the best choice. I don't want to end up in a test cell.

For half the price I could get a graduate degree (MBA) that could allow me much more flexibility and opportunity. It wouldn't be as exciting, but you can't become The Man being single-disciplined and not getting your hands in all aspects of the business.

That's a good idea, and honestly, progression in any manufacturing field is going to require some good production line experience. You've got to know your business.

What MBA program for $20k?

[Strychnine]

What MBA program for $20k?

Colorado State. ~$26k.
Not quite half, but considerably less than $46k. I'm also open to other options.


Certainly no McCombs level program but I don't intend it to be my primary specialization.

Pondering the same thing myself.
