Then again, it looks damn good on your resume and certainly won't hurt your chances of climbing up the corporate ladder. I guess it all depends what career field you're diving into, what school you're getting the MBA from, your work experience, etc....

I've been contemplating getting one myself, but I'm a programmer...I just don't see the ROI in getting one...

Anyway, good luck selling your parts, and best wishes getting through school.

Guys the MBA is for me. I do'nt plan on going to corporate America. I just want it for myself. I know many don't need it but I want it. Plus you actually learn a lot of stuff that is great for running your own business!

Thanks though guys for the good lucks!

Haha funny cuz that's precisely the reason why I want to do it. I figure the experience itself might be worth more than the credential. Keep us posted on how it's going, I'll be curious hahah

a MBA will only help in all situations, with the exception of someone who has little to no experience in their field, and tries to interview/command a higher salary/higher position off the bat.

Advice I always give people is, get about 5 years of experience in your field, then go back for the MBA for management purposes etc.

If you want to learn how to run your own business, Robert Kyosaki suggests starting a Network Marketing business. Read it in Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant.

Nope doing my MBA and would rather have money in pocket and in reserve than in the car b/c the car might be going soon for something more practical.

Good move man. I think this sacrifice now will benefit you later on in the long run
