That said maybe its more of a bell curve skewed to age 26-28.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335979565378149876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851685393638840715.post-85598403924760184412007-04-03T10:35:00.000-07:002007-04-03T10:35:00.000-07:00Not sure I agree with the age, value tradeoff as s...Not sure I agree with the age, value tradeoff as shown, at least below some threshold, say, 45. My opinion: the optimal age for a working professional to do the MBA looks like its somewhere in the mid-30s, where the immediate transition to a higher value position within a company is much easier. I think one exception may be ibanking, where it is probably nice to get the MBA out of the way before taking a ground level position. As a statistical note, I think the mean age of entrants to the Wharton executive program is something 33-34, depending on the year.<BR/><BR/>Another key point: approaching the MBA with some significant experience makes the experience more meaningful, esp. if the peer group can bring a lot of insight to the table.<BR/><BR/>The pain, though, is definitely amplified the more responsibility you have at work and home.Greg Pavlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076590604248408230noreply@blogger.com
