My master’s wasn’t worth it: Be careful what you study. Going to grad school isn’t always worth the time, effort and money.

Money

I once looked at the MBA as the crème de la crème of business degrees, but now I realize I’m a dime a dozen.
I have an MBA in media management from Metropolitan College of New York and a master’s in organizational leadership from Mercy College. I am in debt to the tune of $120,000, and for me, it just wasn’t worth it.
After graduating, I applied for jobs in New York for at least a year. In interviews, I was either overqualified, or high risk.
