A Business Week Article recently discussed the increasing costs of funding an MBA degree and ideas on how to help pay for tuition and other expenses. It was an interesting article and focused on how students need to be cost conscious regarding any decisions they make while attending school. Keeping a close tab on your budget and what your expenses might be before even attending school is something that MBA students should be doing from the start. Most students just assume that once they finish up school, they will immediately obtain a high paying job, in which they can pay off their student loans overnight. While I agree that most students achieving an MBA degree have a better chance of finding a higher paying job upon graduation, in this economy nothing can be considered a sure thing.
