#The Real Cost Of An MBA

Given economic uncertainties, professionals who have been laid off or consider themselves to be underemployed are contemplating whether or not to pursue a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. While such a route offers potential career flexibility, enhancement and advancement opportunities, it can also come with a steep price tag.

MBAs, especially those who go to private business schools, can accumulate between $100,000 - $200, 000 in debt and expenses in just over a two-year period. Fortunately, for those that are highly motivated to secure an MBA. there are alternative options one can explore in order to both receive the degree as well as minimize the costs.

An online MBA program offers the ultimate flexibility. Students can generally complete course work on their own schedule and still maintain a full-time job and other commitments.

Local zoning ordinances and regulations are important considerations when choosing your business location. Zoning laws impact several critical business decisions such as purchasing property or making improvements to your existing property, so it is important to understand the laws before you commit to anything.

Property is zoned into commercial and residential uses, so a commercial building cannot be built in a residential neighborhood and vice versa, unless there is a change in zoning ordinances. Other considerations also come into play such as how you intend to use your facility, the nature of any renovations, and so on.

Finding out How Property is Zoned

You can find out how property is zoned by contacting your local planning agency. One way to determine your local planning agency is to perform an internet search using the name of your community or city, your state, and the term “planning.”

For example, laws about how fast grown-ups can drive help prevent accidents, while laws about pollution help keep our air, water, and soil healthy.

Laws also help to provide citizens with services. Let’s say a country has a law saying all kids must go to school. In order to be able to enforce this law, that country’s government will probably have to build and pay for enough public schools to make it possible. – Making sure a law is and can b ... Read more »
