" The truth is the MBA is simply an overpriced, over-hyped degree. As time goes on and the market is flooded with more of them, they will become less unique and therefore less valuable. Furthermore, as you’ll find out when you get older, unless you have connections or your last name is “Rockefeller,” chances are you’ll just be indebting yourself to a crippling level. Instead, I highly recommend getting an undergrad in Accounting and then pursuing your CPA. Not only is a CPA much cheaper ($3,000 for all the exam and fees,) you’ll have even better earnings potential than the average MBA. "
