Based on my 25 years of business experience, an MBA is only "worth it" if you are applying for a job that specifically requires you to have an MBA. In other words, if you're just applying to some random job, an MBA is not necessarily going to give you an edge over someone that does not have an MBA. I sometimes give job interviews and in many cases we turned down people that had an MBA in favor of people without an MBA that had more favorable business experience.
