A Change of Heart: Choosing Not to Pursue an MBA in the US
June 20, 2025 - 09:40
When he started considering business schools, his family and friends assumed he would opt for the US. Growing up in Asia, the allure of prestigious American institutions was strong, and many believed that an MBA from the US would open countless doors. However, after careful reflection, he decided against pursuing his degree in America.
The decision stemmed from a desire to explore educational opportunities closer to home. He recognized that Asia's business landscape is rapidly evolving, with numerous top-tier programs emerging across the region. By staying in Asia, he could gain insights into local markets and build a network that would be invaluable in his career.
Moreover, he realized that an MBA is not solely defined by the institution's location but by the quality of education and the experiences gained during the program. This shift in perspective allowed him to prioritize his personal and professional goals, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling educational journey.
