Getting an MBA is often seen as a necessary step to a successful career. If you’re in a field like consulting or finance, you might be thinking of getting an MBA yourself or at least know people who are. But with the rising cost of an MBA, we’ve been thinking, is it still worth taking two years off to get one?

In our first of a two-part series, we talk to our friend Jack Kerschner, a current MBA student at University of Notre Dame, about his motivations for getting an MBA and what school during a pandemic is like. He walks us through his model for determining the value of an MBA, and shares valuable advice for those considering grad school.
