“Why Achieving an MBA is No Longer My Goal.” Cash Money Life. April 13th, 2009: “Achieving an MBA is an expensive endeavor – both in terms of tuition and in terms of opportunity cost.

The total cost of a top tier MBA program can easily run into the quarter million dollar range in terms of tuition and opportunity cost, and that can take years to pay off.”
