I went through two years. Can’t afford the rest yet. Hopefully someday.

Congrats, Mike!

My company offers around $5,200 per year as well. I have decided to go for the full package though and get into a top tier MBA school like Duke. Let us know how it goes!

You know I had a similar problem applying for an MBA program — I went all out, took the GMATs, started looking at schools requested brochures — but man the application process for an MBA is so daunting; I really wish I could just skip that part hehe. I probably should just do it eh! Like I said I’ve got a number of cans I have a hard time picking up.

I hope you get accepted to your program!

BTW What was your undergrad major?

I got a Masters degree 2 years ago through my employer. We have a great program in that I don’t have to pay out of pocket. Once I’m approved in the program, I just submit the bills and the company pays it.

I want to go back for my MBA, but a lot of the universities here offer “Executive” programs that cost 60-80k. In addition, these programs are very intensive and you get your degree in 18 months. It will be very difficult to convince my employer to pay that.

Congratulations and good luck. I got two degrees courtesy my employer. It’s like a 20% (of whatever) raise when you use tuition reimbursement. Good for you.

Congrats! I too have decided to go back for my MBA. I graduated with my bachelors in December 05, so its only been about a year and a half for me. Unfortunately, my employer does not offer tuition reimbursement (company is way to small) and I will be paying for everything myself. I found a 18 month online program for working professionals through one university at a “reasonable” cost. I applied about 3 weeks ago. If all goes well (it will), I’ll start July 2. Going back to school…..ugh. :-/ Oh well, it will all pay off in the long run.

Good luck with everything!
