"Fifteen years into my technical career, my family life was complicated enough—with two kids, plus a spouse getting a part-time MBA at night. I wanted to enhance an established career with an MBA that fit my lifestyle, so weekend and interactive distance learning were my only considerations.   Consider how you learn best: I’m an engineer/tinkerer, and I’ve always preferred to learn mostly on my own with professors and classmates available when I need help, while my husband needed the constant interaction of being in class.”
