| SavvyCityGirl | Posted – 7/25/2008 5:53:12 PM | show profile I'm en entry-level EA at a financial magazine, and I love it. I definitely want to stay in magazines. However, I am considering getting an MBA to 1) advance my knowledge of business, 2) assist in future business ventures, and 3) help me if and when I become a top editor (because all editors have to know about the business of their magazines, right?) Does that seem like a wise decision? Would it be a waste of time to take two years off (while i'm still young) to get an MBA, or should I just keep working my way up during those two years? |
