MBA’s for HealthCare Sales, Marketing and Management – Useful?

I get asked sometimes by healthcare sales, clinical laboratory sales, pathology sales, and imaging sales job seekers whether or not it would help their chances of getting a job or advancing in their field if they got a graduate degree.  (The MBA seems to be the most popular possibility.)  The Little Red Suit has some interesting comments on the decision whether to attend grad school:  Grad School 101:  The Truth About the Top Six Grad School Myths.  The most relevant one (to me) is the idea that a graduate degree is your “ticket to the top.”  What she points out is (and I totally agree) is that while a graduate degree certainly won’t hurt, what’s most critical to your success is your relationship with your boss, your work ethic, and the product you produce.  Put in medical sales terms, that’s your sales skill, rapport with customers, and what kind of revenue you produce.  In other words, it’s not necessarily what you’ve got, it’s what you do with it that matters.
