From experience (BSEE + MBA): An MBA is a great idea IF... You are willing to make a career change... if you stay a techie, you will have wasted the opportunity. You WANT to do business... you must enjoy the thrills of business. An MBA is Valuable for (in order)... The contacts you make AND keep, The reputation of your school, What you learn from observation and experience once your business vision is focussed, What they teach you. Techies make great MBA students for the first year, then get lost when numerical skills and linear thinking become less important.
