Payout vs. payoff
Getting an MBA is not cheap. In fact, you can count on paying thousands of dollars at a minimum for this educational enhancement. To make matters more complicated, the cost of obtaining an MBA varies from school to school, with online and traditional options also having different price tags.
Here are three of the many options available, each carrying different price tags and payoffs.
