1. Replacement for work experience: Though there are MBA programs that will enrol students straight from college, most emphasize the need for work experience and require applicants to demonstrate a degree of leadership before admission. There is a reason work experience is required – it will help you better apply class knowledge, enable you to contribute to the class more, fit in with other students, and finally get a job after graduation.
2. Specific Training: getting an MBA in order to reap financial or marketing training that can be achieved faster and more effectively using other programs.
3. Figure out one’s life: yes, MBA is a break for 20 months but it is a terrible reason if all you want to do is figure out your personal life and goals. Everyone will be doing some soul-searching during the program but nobody likes a confused person without goals or purpose.
