Would you feel your masters would’ve had more value from another institution? Curious because I’m looking to get an MBA (my employer will cover the cost).

Do not get a full time on campus MBA from any programme that is not spoken of as top 10. There are more than ten of those for what that’s worth. If you are already doing a job that people get an MBA to get and your company will pay for you to get an executive MBA that is sensible if a lot of work.

Most of the value of an MBA is in the network, not the knowledge so distance learning and correspondence degrees are worth drastically less. You can get an MBA from the UK’s Open University or Queen Mary’s, University of London for a little over twenty thousand pounds or thirteen thousand tespectively.

Yes, I would agree with this. Though, since I work in govt contracting, having that MBA can sometimes "check a box" when a position has a hard requirement for a certain degree (or degree level). But, yea, if I had it to do over again, I would pick a different Master's degree :)
