From AInvest: “Tuition for top-tier MBA programs now exceeds $200,000 … For many graduates, the payback period—defined as the time required to recoup this investment through higher earnings—stretches to 5–10 years … This timeline is problematic in an era of rapid technological change …. In contrast, micro-credentialing platforms and targeted online courses offer a more flexible, affordable alternative. Programs in digital marketing, business analytics, or entrepreneurship can be completed for $500–$5,000, with many requiring less than six months of study … A 2023 analysis by the World Economic Forum found that professionals who completed micro-credentials in high-demand fields like AI or cybersecurity saw salary increases of 15%–30% within 12–18 months.”
