One of the most important considerations for any potential student, but especially for an MBA candidate, is the cost of tuition and living expenses. With university costs skyrocketing and the job market remaining uncertain at best, a decision to go to business school has serious implications. The difficulty of this decision can be magnified even further depending on a candidate’s individual situation. For example, an older candidate may already have a family who relies on their income and might prefer to stay in their current geographic location. Alternatively, someone who is earlier in their career might have significantly more flexibility when it comes to leaving their existing career and choosing which school to attend.
