Is getting an MBA Worth It?

[SmootSmack]

I don't think it hurts to get one, especially if work is going to cover a portion of the tuition. The hardest part, in my opinion, about being in an MBA program is that there is so much group-work involved so you're life for 2 years (or however long you choose to do it) is dependent on so many other people. Is there a ceiling to your career that can only be "broken" with another degree, such as an MBA?

I'm glad I got my MBA. I was able to sharpen several skills, particularly when it comes to anaylsis and presentation. I didn't use my MBA in the traditional sense (not an investment banker, not working on Wall Street) and in a way that helps because it tends to separate me from my co-workers in my line of work. Although, there is a growing trend now to hire more MBAs in my field.
