MITs Master of Science in Engineering and Management (SDM)
Is my MIT obsession worth spending 80K on MS SDM after having a Ph.D in CS?
Would a 3.90 GPA at a State School give me a shot at a MIT master's program for civil engineering?
I suck at Engineering but I wanna do my masters in MIT. Advice?
What is Master of Engineering management in MIT?
Is a Masters in Engineering Management useful?
Is a Master's in engineering management the same as an MBA?

Background: I grew up in a third world country, like every engineer, MIT was/is a dream. With some luck, I ended up with a Ph.D in ML from an R1 university (non-top 10) and currently working at big tech company as a research scientist for about 4 years. I do have papers in top ML conferences along with significant impact in projects at my job and I make over 300K.
I thought after finishing my Ph.D, I will get over my MIT dream and find something more interesting but that has not happened yet. So, coming back to the question, is spending 80K worth the dream or I am just plain stupid?
Just to add, I am interested in management route.
EDIT: I visited the MIT campus on Friday and absolutely loved it. I will definitely be applying for MS SDM.

Is this a sane financial decision? Absolutely not.

Is this degree going to add anything to my profile? Probably nothing apart from passing through ASMs.
Thanks everyone.
