Publisher's Summary:
Who needs a mountain of debt?
Each year, the nation's top business schools are flooded with applications from people eager to pursue their MBA dreams. But those aspirations come at a steep price. According to U.S. News and World Report, the average debt load for graduates of NYU's Stern School of Business, MIT's Sloan School of Management, and other top business schools exceeds $100,000.
Like most, author Laurie Pickard couldn't shoulder that. But she faced a dilemma: despite two degrees and a Peace Corps stint, she needed a business education to land her dream job in international development.

By picking the right classes from the best schools, she gained the skills - without all the debt.

As an autodidact who is somewhat addicted to learning, Laurie's blog and book are a godsend. Instead of spending $20,000-$100,000 or more getting an MBA (which is a credential I don't really need for my career), I now have a clear path forward to obtaining the business knowledge I've been seeking.
