I applied to a leading business school and have been called for an interview but I am getting cold feet. (76)
If I get in, I would have to leave my job (safe, if a bit dull) , would pay a fee of £ 45 ,000, and after a year and a half would emerge with no guarantee of another job.
Is this one of the worst returns on investment going? Or is it worth it for what I would learn and for the career boost and the likelihood that the economy will be better when I graduate?
Professional, female, 31
LUCY’S ANSWER
Yes, it’ s a terrible investment; if you get out your calculator and run one of those discounted cash flow calculations that MBAs favor, you’ 11 find it hard to come up with a positive number. (77)
Many people leaving business school now are not only failing to change their careers, they are crawling back to their old jobs with their old employers.
The odd thing all is that all MBAs still claim the experience was worth it. If you read related blogs you will see every single MBA is breathless with admiration for MBA courses.
YOUR ADVICE
Go for it!
Taking a top-tier MBA course exposes you to some of the smartest, most confident, most competitive and arrogant people you will ever meet. (78)
It has provided me with a framework for flexibility in my career, the tools to keep learning and the confidence to conduct myself in any situation.
Oh yeah, I paid off my student loan and my husband ’ s student loans (way more than £ 45,000) in three years.

Stay in the job
Forget it, sweetie. A job in the hand is worth 15 MBAs in the bush these days. In addition, you are probably a woman in a man’ s world, in which case the glass ceiling will cap any hope of the top reaching in spite of having a business school qualification anyway.
(79)
Keep your job, work hard, bone up on management skills, and save your £ 45,000 for something more constructive.

Long-run payoff
(80)
I took two years out for an MBA and got into debt, lost out on income and would do it a-gain in a second.
If you are career-minded, you’ll get paid back in the long run. Firms will still be hiring from business schools in the future and they will come to you rather than your having to find them.
Also, being able to take months/years out of work to contemplate your future and learn something is a luxury worth paying for.

选项
答案
MBA课程教会了我在职业生涯中灵活应变的能力、不断学习的方法以及在任何情况下都游刃有余的自信。
解析
(It作主语指前面提到的“MBA课程”,翻译中应译出。provided me with a framework for flexibility在此处若直译“提供了…的框架”则不容易理解,宜采取意译的方法。conduct oneself为人处事,灵活应变。)
