What to look for in an Online MBA program?

packattack425
Starting to look into possibly getting a online MBA. It is kind of overwhelming when you don't really have a sense of what schools are out there. I feel like I am blindly searching the internet for schools that might work. Has anyone completed an online MBA? How did you decide on a school? I am looking to do everything online as night/weekend classes won't work with my schedule. Does one degree carry more weight than another or does it come off as a "check the box" thing if you do it online? I know accreditations are important, but do all AACSB school fall into the same category? Does it look bad if a school waives GRE/GMAT requirements? Also looking at using the GI Bill to cover the cost. Any advice would help.

Short notice vacation ideas please.

I got a new job starting early May and have up to two weeks beforehand to fart around. I'm a single dude and probably going solo since this is in like two weeks.

I have like 80k frequent flier miles..and kind of leaning Europe but maybe open to somewhere else.

Has anyone else solo traveled? Anyone have recommendations for places to travel?

2019 World Pork Expo Cancelled

I am sure some of you will care about this story. The National Pork Producers Council has cancelled the 2019 World Pork Expo in Des Moines due to a fear of African Swine Fever. This is a big deal since more than 20,000 travel to it every year from around the globe. Big hit for the fairgrounds.

Percentage of Women Coaches Drops

StClone
The percentage of female-led women’s college basketball programs had dropped from 79 percent in 1977 to 59 percent in 2018. Two articles on the subject don't seem to have a definite solution, though the personalities of top coaches cited give their useful (read bickering) input.

WBB is of heightened appeal for many here and so this should be of interest:

"McGraw, the only female head coach at last year’s Final Four, was quoted saying, “People are hiring too many men” to coach women’s college sports. She gave a one-word answer – “No” – when asked if she had any plans to hire another male assistant coach."

"She’s watched those who are hired deal with both systemic and targeted discrimination and harassment. She’s seen how, when women get fired, second chances are hard to come by. And she knows firsthand what it’s like to deal with a level of scrutiny that their male counterparts could never imagine — from focus on their looks, to a policing of their anger. Unparalleled success isn’t enough to stave off the never-ending questioning of their priorities and vision."

Hope this discussion doesn't turn into a pissing match on which WBB Coach is most likely to be a Salem retread. And instead, it should illustrate what could be considered a negative trend for female head coaches.
