I’m in the financial industry right now, but want to plan ahead in case my employer goes under or gets sold off. I’ve been thinking about going back for grad school. I don’t plan on going to a far away Ivy League business school. First of all, it’s expensive. Second, I want to stay with my family. So how important is it to go to a prestigious business school? If I won’t go to the cream of the crop schools, do you think employers perceive all other schools to be same? Just curious what your take is.

T, didn’t you already cover this topic in a previous month?

Yes, where you can make a difference. Even though it’s been years since I’ve graduated, my alma mater’s name still has influence on my resume. When I had interviewed for my current job, the interviewer noticed my college and asked a lot of questions about the school.
