In a recent episode of CBS News’ Money Moves, financial advisors Jill Schlesinger and Mark examined the practical value of pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree. Their analysis focused on helping viewers determine when the significant investment of an advanced degree yields tangible career returns and when it may not be the right financial move.
The discussion also addressed a specific dilemma from a listener named Cory, who is facing a major retirement decision. Cory must decide whether to accept a pension plan, which provides stability but lessens financial flexibility, or pursue an alternative path that offers more control over his assets.

MBA ROI depends entirely on the school brand now. Top tier yes, anything else is a risky gamble in this economy.
Wait, is the pension vs flexibility choice really that black and white? Sometimes you need liquidity for emergencies.
Mark always brings such a practical perspective to these expensive degree debates. Makes you think twice before signing up.
Solid advice on Cory’s pension dilemma. Guaranteed income beats market volatility every time for most people, in my opinion.
Is the MBA bubble finally popping? My friend regrets hers after burning through savings for zero career gains.
