I agree that this may add little to my overall value to an employer. I personally enjoy learning and the MBA program can not be any dryer than my Software Engineering program. As for the cost, my employer is footing the bill. One of the last benefits left after they did away with our retirement plan. In regards to your point about networking...truer words were never spoken. Who you know, always has and alway will be the most important thing to ever learn. For those of you that can not acquire the taste for kissing *ss, the corporate world is not for you! The corporate world is sales...selling yourself.
