I want to go to B-school, but I honestly don't know if it will provide me with the skills I need to make the jump out of the legal sector.

Business? My girlfriend is in LSU MBA right now. She's finishing her second year. From things she's told me/being around her all the time, it seems really just like 2 years of learning how to network. I feel like the marginal returns from MBA school in relation to age diminish pretty heavily. She just got a great job offer today in NOLA...which is great because I (we) planned on moving back to the northshore after I graduate. But, she got the job through a girl she knew. Don't get me wrong - her grades are great and she's an awesome, likable girl that a firm really would be stupid not to hire - but she could've probably gotten the same job without MBA school just because she knew the girl beforehand.

She was also offered a job with E&Y in Houston, but turned it down because she wanted to stay in this area of LA and didn't want to work 60 hour weeks.
