1 I heard somebody complained there're too many engineers in stanford' mba program, networking may not be as effective as in other premium b schools. After all, bay area is famous for technology innovation, not a financial town. If you are pursuing a career in financial industry, maybe hbs/stern/ chicago gsb is better. 2. a phd degree can open more doors for you. I personally prefer academic career. But I already missed the chance to get into a good phd program.

gotta be kidding me. what can you do w/ a phd in finance? i can see only two exits: 1. faculty, 2 . researcher in financial institutions as supporting function w/ mba, you can choose pretty much whatever you want, especially from stanford.
Either is good. The thing is how you can get both.These two programs have different taste from each other.

No, Ph.D. in finance makes very decent money, no matter what you do. So the key point is, what this guy wants to do, research or industry.

i was not talking about the money. i was talking about the kind of work to do in the future. for the type of people that will come here and ask "what to choose, USC DBA or Stanford MBA", i am sure he or she does not have any firm idea of what to do in the next. so in this sense, MBA would be much better for the variety of career choices he or she may get with an MBA.
