  Anyone care to share their MBA experiences so far and contribute your thoughts to the MBA and/or CFA debate?

  I will be thinking about this in about a year or so (GMAT, that is) so any past experiences would be ace.

  Not too keen on an MBA at the moment. It’s pretty expensive and I’m not too sold on the benefits.

  There’s almost a cult about the MBA at consulting firms. Everyone goes, but so far I’m still not convinced what for.
