Alton, Ia | If you get an MBA, the odds are much higher that you'll have to move, probably to a more urban area. Small companies, with low numbers in management, are going to be less likely to need and hire an MBA, or they will, and your pay will not reflect the added investment in yourself. Plus, if you are an employee, it gets tough to balance work and your farming, (if you intend to stay somewhat involved.) They generally don't appreciate you missing meetings and deadlines because something has to get planted/sprayed/etc.
With a law degree, you could be your own boss, and set your own hours. And locate wherever you want to be. The downside is you won't get the steady paycheck, especially until you build a client base.
It's more important that you decide how you want to spend your days on this earth, then get the degree, than vice versa. Maybe if you spend ~1000 hours/year doing MBA or Law work it will satisfy your cravings enough and you'll want the farming also. That's only for you to answer.
(and fwiw, and you can ignore this part b/c it's just my opinion, is every MBA I ever dealt with was an idiot. No real world common sense whatever.)
Good Luck. | |
