Which MBA Program...?

A couple weekends ago I was told by several people that I need to blog more.

Here we go!

So I have been thinking about going for an MBA.

One option is the major state university. Would have to contend with the problems of a public school and I would have to wait until spring 2010 to get in-state tuition, but it has been around for a long time.

The other option is the local Concordia, which is launching an MBA program this fall. While this is a new program, I've heard good things about the undergrad business program. I would likely have to deal with applications of questionable theology, but I could probably start this fall.

I am looking at an MBA to supplement my CS education as many employers like computer folks that understand the business side. It would also help in climbing any corporate ladders I might climb. I have also toyed around with the idea of starting my own business at some point.

So, I'm looking for input here.

So somebody suggests you blog more and you get around to it a few weeks later? You had better slow your pace a little because an MBA program might prove too unchallenging for you!

Yeah, next time I'll just brush off that freelance contract that stole away my nights. ;-)

If you go for an MBA, do you think that the program will eat a whole in your pocket? Caveat Emptor. You might end up spending lots and lots of money. I read a good book on having a self-owned business. Good education is worthwhile though. Bottom line: A borrower is a slave to the lender. ;)
