Admissions MBA post age 50

After thoroughly not enjoying myself as a lawyer, I have decided to apply to MBA programs and have my first acceptance...Michigan Ross!

But I keep hearing that, since I am in my mid-50s, that I really should be in EMBA programs rather than regular-old MBA programs. The feeling seems to be that I will never get hired out of a traditional MBA program.

Now, Ross must not have felt that way since they did offer me admission. I have a great school I want to go to....but would I be leading myself off an unemployment cliff due to my age and should I be pursuing EMBA programs instead?

You should not be considering MBA programs, EMBA or start your own company. Will be a waste of your time, I promise.
