[ale] MBA schools

[Joshua Kite]

There's a significant difference between a MBA program and undergrad.  I
finished my MBA from GA State about three years ago (it took me about 3
years to finish).  GSU does offer a number of classes online, and that's
fine for some subjects, but for classes such as business strategy it's
really best to work through the case studies with other people live.  Case
studies are an integral part of any MBA curriculum, as are the lessons
you'll learn from your classmates' real-world experience.

If you cannot even attend night or weekend classes, then I'd suggest that
you reconsider your choice of graduate degree.  Cut and dry subjects, such
as more technical ones, lend themselves well to an online education, but
experiential ones such as business do not.

Good luck,

Josh Kite
