Before getting into an accredited online mba program, you need to think long and hard about whether going back to school is going to be worth it for you. Many people do this just because they are bored or they do not know what to do with their lives, and it is a very dangerous way to live. If you create a ton of debt for yourself without having any real goal that you are working toward, you just make your life much harder when you get out of school and you have to pay off that debt even if you cannot get a job.
However, this is not to dissuade you from going to school or getting a better degree. This can be a great thing for you to do, opening a lot of doors. You will have more opportunities just because you will be qualified for many jobs that you could never have applied for before. For some degrees, there are virtually no jobs that you can do without getting an advanced degree. After you get it, though, you are part of an exclusive group, so there is not nearly as much competition for the job that you want.
The biggest thing to consider is what your end goal is going to be. Do you know exactly what type of job that you want to get? If so, look at some postings for similar jobs right now. You may not be able to apply for them, but you can look at the qualifications. Is a higher degree needed? Do you need to know how to do things and perform tasks that you never learned about in undergrad? If so, getting your advanced degree is excellent because it will help you learn what you need to know and it will make your chosen career possible.
As you can see, getting an MBA might be the best choice that you ever make. Do not let the cost hold you back. However, you do not want to be someone who just goes to school for no reason, because you cannot think of anything else to do. You are paying a lot of money for a valuable degree, but it will have no value at all if you never decide to use it. You have to think about your future and how that degree fits into that future before getting it.
Online classes isn't for me. I get distracted so fast and couldn't concentrate too long.
