Is a MBA/IMBA worth it?
What do you learn to do in those degrees?
Is useful in anything if you want to leave your country?
Can you get a job at a bank with it?
Would you do it if you get a scholarship?
In case you ask, I'm the guy from /qa/
>>1762522
No, only for the connections.
If you don't go to a top 20, 2 year MBA program or don't need MBA for job advancement (company will pay), you're wasting your time.
Your alternatives are reading The Personal MBA and then getting familiar on the topics of business with more specialized books on the topics brought up.
Basically just read, you'll learn more than you will in an MBA program (given the same amount of time put in).

That's for USA/first world countries? I live in a 3rd world country where for sure doesn't applies and my only secure chance to move is Italy due to connections.
The MBA would be via a scholarship in China (or Taiwan).
>>1762693
Mostly this
Non top 20 (i go as far as top 10) MBA degrees will only accentuate whatever experience you already have, so if you're already doing pretty well an MBA can give a small hop, but it's generally not worth unless your current employer is saying they'll promote you or will cover the costs, etc..
top 10 schools are always worth though.
Not because they teach you anything but because the signaling power of a top 10 mba degree
Has their ever been a PR stunt that was majorly successful? Like one that didn't get a huge amount of attention and then died out immediately?

Maybe they fire u and get unemployment. Whatever you do don't voluntarily quit. Deny deny deny. And start looking for a new job fgt

Snitch about what?
>Tfw no highschool diploma
>Tfw not enough resources to get GED (don't ask why, it's literally not possible unless there were free night courses in my area, which there aren't)
>Tfw all entry level jobs available require one or the other
Are there any skill/trade jobs that I can take apprenticeship in without needing a diploma?
Are there more options that just aren't commonly talked about?
I'm dying for a job.

How do you know when you shouldn't be in college?
I ask as someone who wants to go deeper in math than Tyrone was in your mom, and have considered the idea of a career in academia, but I know it won't pay off. I can program, and I don't need a degree to prove that.
I really enjoy college, but I know I could be learning all this on my own, or spending this time developing a programming portfolio.
>>1762449
College isn't just about learning the material.
It's about building connections, developing your network, acquiring social capital through prestige and your association with your alma mater. You also come into contact with recruiters from industry and it's much easier to land a job if you're in a feeder school than an unproven high school kid.
>>1762580
This. It's less about the learning, and more about who you learn from, and how well you can build connections.

What's the cheapest house market in the States?
I'm a student looking to rent a place and eventually buy, where are the cheapest houses/apartments in the US right now?
I was thinking Oregon but I've heard the prices are starting to rise now.
>>1762388
Nebraska, Idaho, Wyoming, West Virginia, South Dakota. Mississippi and Alabama are cheap too.
Basically the places where nobody wants to live.
Oregon isn't cheap, neither is Alaska or anything else on the west coast.
>>1762388
Cheapest house markets are in areas where the job market is shit
>spend 3 years getting a degree
>can't get a job because you don't have work experience and robots will replace entry level jobs
>>1762382
Get a degree in robot maintenance.
Anyways, our robot overlords will not really take power anytime soon. A guy with a bag of tools is still cheaper and more useful then even the million dollar advanced robots and it'll be that way for a long time.
Why they still send athletic nerds with bad haircuts into outerspace even though robots survive better up there.

Is this true? I'm a first year engineering student (ChemE) and really fell into this because I didn't know what else to do. Am I making a huge mistake here?
Also, would another particular field of engineering be better (job options, salary, quality of life etc.)? Or would studying something completely different be better.
>>1762303
Additionally, if I were to get a degree would I be able to do anything else with it? I don't want to be extremely limited in my options if I find myself miserable as an engineer.
>>1762303
In the end, only you can decide what degree is best for you, but you definitely shouldn't get a degree in something just because you couldn't think of anything else to do. No one can predict what the market will be like in four years, but if you don't like the subject, you'll hate working the job.
If you want to do engineering, you're fine, since the first couple years of any engineering degree are pretty much the same, and switching your degree will be painless.
Once you get the degree, though, it's tough to get a job doing anything else, except maybe sales in a related industry. If you apply anywhere else, everyone will just see you as an unemployed engineer desperate enough to apply for other stuff.
>>1762303
>Or would studying something completely different be better [?]
If you actually like engineering, stick to it. As long as you don't mind some kid with a liberal arts degree being your manager once you're out of school. STEM is essentially vocational/trade school for white collar work. Yes, you will make a decent living and enjoy middle/upper middle class life, but don't expect employers to assume you have the skills to run and manage projects involving others. It's not that the upper level careers are going to automatically go to the lib kids, but you'll need to prove that you can do more than just STEM related stuff. Half of business is human interaction and employers know that; consider picking up a minor in the humanities along the line.
>Making money from advice on /biz/
You fucked up anon

u wot m8 i made 6k in 8 months thanks to biz
>>1762302
I enjoy reading /biz/ threads. /biz/ threads are filled with average people, who have hundreds of different opinions and make hundreds of different calls. By analyzing /biz/ threads, cryptocurrency and /rgt/ and forex threads, you can learn what the average investor is thinking about, what they are doing correctly, incorrectly, and how to get ahead of them, or at least learning from their mistakes so that you dont make the same ones.

i never understood how people do this. the way i try to think of it, if i were to buy starbucks or eat pizzahut on a break when i wake up the next morning i wont even remember it. like the satisfaction of eating or drinking an expensive lunch every day at work is so temporary its not worth it for me. i always try to aim for eating cheap unless im out with friends
