问题
I applied to a leading business school and have been called for an interview but I am getting cold feet. (76)
If I get in, I would have to leave my job (safe, if a bit dull) , would pay a fee of £ 45 ,000, and after a year and a half would emerge with no guarantee of another job.
Is this one of the worst returns on investment going? Or is it worth it for what I would learn and for the career boost and the likelihood that the economy will be better when I graduate?
Professional, female, 31
LUCY’S ANSWER
Yes, it’ s a terrible investment; if you get out your calculator and run one of those discounted cash flow calculations that MBAs favor, you’ 11 find it hard to come up with a positive number. (77)
Many people leaving business school now are not only failing to change their careers, they are crawling back to their old jobs with their old employers.
The odd thing all is that all MBAs still claim the experience was worth it. If you read related blogs you will see every single MBA is breathless with admiration for MBA courses.
YOUR ADVICE
Go for it!
Taking a top-tier MBA course exposes you to some of the smartest, most confident, most competitive and arrogant people you will ever meet. (78)
It has provided me with a framework for flexibility in my career, the tools to keep learning and the confidence to conduct myself in any situation.
Oh yeah, I paid off my student loan and my husband ’ s student loans (way more than £ 45,000) in three years.

Stay in the job
Forget it, sweetie. A job in the hand is worth 15 MBAs in the bush these days. In addition, you are probably a woman in a man’ s world, in which case the glass ceiling will cap any hope of the top reaching in spite of having a business school qualification anyway.
(79)
Keep your job, work hard, bone up on management skills, and save your £ 45,000 for something more constructive.

Long-run payoff
(80)
I took two years out for an MBA and got into debt, lost out on income and would do it a-gain in a second.
If you are career-minded, you’ll get paid back in the long run. Firms will still be hiring from business schools in the future and they will come to you rather than your having to find them.
Also, being able to take months/years out of work to contemplate your future and learn something is a luxury worth paying for.

选项
答案
如果我被录取了,我就必须离职
解析
(这份工作很安稳,即使是有点枯燥)、支付4.5万英镑学费,而且一年半之后我将无法确定能否找到另一份工作。(注意点:由于是申请入学,因此get in可理解成无标志的被动句,译为“被录取”。括号内部分是对前一工作的描述,应补译出主语“这份工作”。emerge with以(某种形式)出现。)
