Whoever posted the comment about whether an MBA is worth it or not - I have your answer. Don't go back to school. The very fact that you are trying to evaluate education in terms of how much it guarantees a future salary suggests you understand very little about what an MBA is all about. Nothing in the world aside from hard work and persereverence guarantees high salaries. So stop trying to do "roi" analyses on educational opportunities - the value of education just change just because the economy is in the dumps |

You lost me on your last point Steve. However, the decision to get an MBA is VERY much about money. Get used to it... Every decision in business is about money. It's a simple fact that MBA's get more consideration and are perceived to be more valuable to companies. In some circles it's a necessary but not sufficient condition. Sufficiency comes with your hard work and perseverance.
For me, deciding on getting an MBA is about improving my network. Having good connections can more than pay for the $60k in the long run. It's still about $$. If I can improve my network, that increases my chance of knowing the right person at the right time that's going to help me be successful and therefore gain recognition in the form of a bonus or salary increase. It's all about money man... What else are we competing for?
I certainly can't imagine that someone would want to pursue an MBA purely for the experience. Studying statistics, finance, and economics just doesn't sound pleasurable to me. It's more of a necessary evil.
