Editor's note from 6/14/2019:
This thread was from 2017. We just put it up on the homepage, hoping the original poster will post and tell us what happened. Did they get a job? Where are they now? What's their salary? It's also a thread full of advice for anyone looking for a job with an MBA.
A better investment is a master's degree in project management or engineering management (about half the cost of an MBA). I've noticed a lot of people going back to get these degrees that ultimately secure a ~250k middle management job that appears to mostly involve holding meetings that don't need to be held and sending emails that don't need to be sent. The degree confers no real leadership or management skills you couldn't pick up on after a year or so on your own, but HR demands paper and letters after one's name before even mild consideration.
Finally, an MBA is more of a network than a degree. The classes and content mean nothing and anyone with a pulse can get through (do business schools still have the "gentleman's agreement" of never discussing GPAs and not asking in interviews? lol). So before anyone gets an MBA, they should ask themselves if the people in the alumni network are people they actually want to be networking with in the first place.
