[quote=Anonymous]Even a large %age of T14 law grads don’t make it into BigLaw and financially it was a mistake (for the many kids that take out big loans).

Not everyone has an interest in Big Law.  I am not sure comparing a law degree is helpful here.  You cannot practice law without a law degree (except I believe in CA).  I don't think there are any jobs that require an MBA in the same way.  So, for an MBA to be worth it, it depends on the circumstances as others have said.  Will work pay for the MBA?  Or are you getting it from Harvard, Wharton, etc.?  Does the ultimate job you want require it (not legally but because you won't be considered qualified compared to other candidates).  A sibling got an MBA because his work brought the school in to teach a big cohort from his workplace.  IMO, this was useful for him because it was free and made him qualified to move up in this entity.  But, it's not from a school most have heard of and I doubt it would do much to make him competitive somewhere like DC.[/quote]
