[quote=Anonymous]I got my MBA many moons ago, and it was totally worth it for the credential, the education (I went to a SLAC so hadn't taken any business oriented courses), and the recruiting. I went to a school ranked in the top 10 then and now. I earn 7 figures now and there is no way I could have done that without an MBA.

The dynamic has clearly changed today, but for some people it is still worthwhile. It has value for people looking to change fields. It still has value for people with traditional liberal arts majors like English or Poli Sci or even Econ. It even has value for CS majors who want to have a broader skill set.

The opportunity cost is high for many people. It is not always practical to have an employer pay for a top school since they are principally residential full-time programs. And of course it doesn't make sense if you are trying to career switch. There were a handful of people in my program who were employer sponsored, but it was much more common among the foreign students. I had a lot of salary upside because I wasn't making much before I went to school. The potential delta is much lower now, but the top school median salaries are still reasonably pretty high.[/quote]
