I see jobs listed today that almost always say "MBA preferred". What sucks is that these employers are not upping the salary to help offset the additional cost of getting an MBA. If I paid an additional $50,000+ to have an MBA, I'd want to make more than someone without an MBA! The jobs I see however pay less than what I make (are entry-level even) but still want that degree. It may be the cost of entry to certain careers.

Zombie thread likes brains. I think the programs can be good. For instance, it seems like a good way to make professional connections in my area. That, and all the HR departments love them some Clemson.

It really depends on what field you're in. For my wife it was almost a requirement to move ahead, but lucky for her she went straight into the MBA program after her undergrad, so was still in school mode. For me it would have been a waste of time and money imho.

I think MBA has a lot of value if done from good schools. There is no point of doing them from average schools as in today’s scenario you can expect good jobs only if you are among top brass. Thunderbird laureate
