10K? Hah! Chickenfeed!

I'm now paying off almost 60K in student loans for the MBA I got two years ago. Stupidest damned mistake I made in my life. It represents exactly one line on my résumé and has had no appreciable effect on my job hunt.

It would have been a better investment to spend the money on lottery tickets.

I guess that answers the basic question I've been pondering about completing an MBA part-time to enhance my career. I've got several computer-related certs, but all I have is a BA degree in business right now. I've been thinking about going back to school and earning an MBA or perhaps even going to law school.

My MBA won me the university teaching position I have held for the last 20 years. Smartest thing I ever did. I was able to raise my kids and teach. I am still an instructor; take a big hit in salary relative to the tenured professors, but I have had quite a good job, on the whole, of just the sort I want. Sure, I might have made more money doing something else, but the last 20 years have suited my needs just fine.

A recent study compared folks with MBAs to folks who got an intensive 1-3 week indoctrination session into the company culture. No difference in productivity. Still, I have to believe you have enriched your own inner life to some extent!
