I am not a homebody by any means, but I am just being realistic about my best opportunities to land a good job in a good city with an LSU degree.

I am probably going to get my auditing certification from LSU, as it's #1 in the country by a mile. A lot of people just use it as a foot in the door to major companies. I know a lot fo LSU alums become CIO's and CFO's from their experience. Just keeping my options open really

thanks for the feedback

Walton MBA is #1 for employment at graduation of ANY school in the country and has been #1 or #2 for several years now.

25% of the Fortune 500 is represented in some capacity in NWA. Even if you wanted to move to another market/city at some point soon after school, you could do a lot worse than the networks you'll get out of a Walton MBA.

Then take the new experience (On the Hill) for a nice price and put the paper on the wall. The experience is what you'll need anyway but you will start a small bump ahead of others with a BS. Experience is what truly matters but I doubt you want to take 10 years after college to head back and get your MBA like some of us did.

There are plenty of pros and cons to this...

1. An MBA with no experience is still a guy with no experience but will get a small pay bump and edge in the job.
2. An MBA guy with lots of experience and work ethic is where the money is at. (It's harder going back to school after many years of work)

If you go route one, do it for cheap, enjoy the experience and prepare for the future with MINIMAL DEBT. You'll be glad you did. You've done LSU and have had wonderful experiences, head on up to Arkansas and make some new ones. From a geography standpoint you'll have the Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas regions covered with a large network map inside of each.

From what I've been hearing you aren't the only Swamp Kitten to head up to Fayetteville for graduate school.
