Congrats! I got mine 30 years ago, but unlike most of you, I haven't really used it.

Most excellent! It's a slog, but I think you'll find out it was well worth it.

Congrats! I got mine 15 years ago. While it was a bit of a step back at the time, the degree re-launched a better career and paid for itself many times over.

Congrats! I got mine in 2001 and bought my 911 as a graduation gift to myself - hence MBAtarga.

Well done Matt. That is a huge achievement. The few people that I know that have MBA's have done very well.

Well done Matt. At my age I have a hard time imagining going back to school at all, let alone doing it while managing to work and raise a family at the same time. You have my utmost respect for this achievement.
