Is it better to go to graduate school right after college or get a job first?

i want to get an MBA...i am currently studying marketing management...is it better to get a job after graduation and get experience or go on and go to graduate school and get the degree out of the way?

graduate school first because you don't want to have to worry about juggling a job with your studies. Also if yuo get a job first chances are that although you say you will go back, it is unlikely you will end up going back for the degree.

It depends. Sometimes it is better to get real world business experience. Some business schools also require at least 2 or 3 years of professional experience. Check into the programs you're looking at and see what their requirements are. For many MBA programs, students have at least 3 years experience. This isn't always necessary, but it can make your MBA experience more meaningful. The good thing about doing it immediately after college is that you get it out the way.
It depends. You don't need the experience to get through graduate school, so if you are ready to go to school and can afford it go to school first. If you want to take a break or need money, work first.
For Marketing Management, you should get the MBA first.
never put off till tommrow what you can do today, if you really want to keep up with the school go now, cause you might not get a chance to do it later.
Based on my experience I would get a job first. You do get some experience if you're lucky and if not you get so sick of working at McDonalds that grad school seems like a walk in the park. Good luck!
