As more and more individuals pursue professional degrees as a means to a more rewarding career, there are fewer and fewer jobs waiting on the other side of graduation.
And when it comes to MBA programs, changes in technology and in the economy have accompanied a shift in the job landscape that doesn’t necessarily align with the dated design of the degree.
