I am sorry if my advice offends you, it is merely advice nothing else (I mean I don't have friends who are hiring managers or recruiters and see 100s of MBAs without work daily who made those exact errors). I wish you the best of luck and follow your own advice

Spend as little on your education as possible?

Yeah, fabulous advice. Get over yourself.

Yes, spend as little money as you can and get the most out of it or have an employer pay for continuing education. You're right student debt doesn't exists in this country... grab a couple of credit cards while you're it. Once again, I am sorry for the terrible advice I am offering here.

Spend little = go to best school for the best price. You don't want to be 150k in debt and have a low paying job...

That's not what he said. Wise up.

Points being;

1. Make sure you know what you want to do with your MBA.
2. Gain experience in that field.
3. Make sure to spend as little as possible on this MBA or have someone else pay for it such as an employer.
4. If you do decide to the take the $$$ plunge into a very high ranking B school such as Wharton, Princeton and so forth... make sure that it pays off with connections attained at that school or some sort of solid job offers / internships.
5. Overeducation isn't always the answer to underemployment (if this applies to you).

Just things to think about.

I actually somewhat agree. What's a degree worth, or even, a masters in a field where you have no experience in? Experience is definitely a deciding factor in career
