what do you think about MBA

MBA is so popular right now, but they are aslo not safe from layoff as well.

Furthermore, they ususally don't have concentrations (some do, but it's called MBA in science).  

so for spending that much money and time, do you think MBA worth the price?

It's worth the money to those who can make use of it.

You might feel that way, but it sums up the whole situation pretty well.

If you are good, you are good regardless.  However, an MBA degree can and does push you up a little bit, so if you can use it a stepping stone, then it makes sense for you to do it.

If you are unemployed or not in management already, and expect that you can move on to be a senior manager right out of school, then dream on.

Most of my friends who got their MBA know exactly what they want to do after their degree.
One did it in HK cos she wanted to move back and since she lived here almost all her life that MBA degree allow her to establish her network in HK. She even started a business in HK with some of her classmates and sold that afterwards (with profit). She is running a few business in HK now.
Another one wants to switch from Engineering (technical) to Finance. Doing his MBA allowed him to move to a different field. I think he is doing pretty good now. And he did it at a "brandname" university. So that also helped him to be recongized as well.
Have other examples too but don't want to list too many here.

no way that anyone can be "safe from layoff" just by getting some degree or education.

If your purpose of getting an MBA is purely in terms of helping you to move up the career ladder, you HAVE to do it at the top US university or top MBA program otherwise, it won't help at all. You will be better off by getting professional certification (e.g. PMP) instead of MBA.

agree, it is not like you get MBA and try to get something with it, it is more like you want something and you get the MBA to help you get it.

If you are a piece of shxt, you are still a piece of shxt with a golden wrapper.
