我也不知道。听我表哥说，虽然MBA号称高级管理人才的通道，很多人都觉得MBA毕业后通常能赚大钱，可是现在国内读工商管理硕士的人多如牛毛，反而显得这个证书没什么含金量了。更何况，学费还贵得吓死人。大概他真正想考的是国外的MBA。

I don't know. To hear my cousin tell it, although the MBA calls itself the route to high level management, and a lot of people think that after they graduate from an MBA program they'll be able to earn a lot of money, tons of people in China go to grad school in industrial and commercial management, so there's nothing too special about the degree. What's more, the tuition is frighteningly expensive. What he'd probably really like to try for is a foreign MBA.
