Would you reveal your high status in a MBA class?

In a sense of they respect your Professional experience, but I wouldn't say they dont care. For me it’s similar. I’m in a top-tier MBA program that my consulting firm is sponsoring, and my background includes CFA Level III, LSS Black Belt, and PMP. In my field a CPA isn’t really necessary, so I didn’t pursue it. I think the value of an MBA really depends on the program structure, aspirations, Professors and the Tier can be beneficial sometimes. Modern programs tend to be more updated and include systems and technologies that didn’t exist decades ago and that are essential nowadays, you basically need them. I wouldn’t call an MBA useless, Its really not, at least not for me from what I know, learned and applied.

And at the end of the day you’re getting zero ass. Enjoy your stay here.

I assure you, no one cares at all. Maybe your parents... Maybe.

When it comes to career positions, high status starts from top managers and successful business owners.

For mid-level employees/small entrepreneurs of various categories only entry to high status is significant amount of money (for example inherited or given by parents etc.) - even below middle-status ppl can entry MBA courses these days if they are ready to spend necessary amount of money (however going heavily into "overqualified" theory is rarely a good decision).
