My Uncle did his MBA 2 years ago and never looked back,
I just read this too:
Who is the MBA designed for?
People choose to study for an MBA for a variety of reasons. Some are looking to make a vertical shift in their current career path, while some are looking to change industry or job function. Others are looking to build an entrepreneurial toolkit that will enable them to put their own business plan into practice. All are looking to better position themselves for future advancement and success.
While they come from many different traditions our students share the same essential qualities. They are experienced. They have high intellectual ability. They are determined and ambitious. They are culturally aware. And most importantly they have the potential to be the leaders and influencers of the future.
IMO I think as long as you can sustain yourself through the course then why not. You will come out with a qualification which will demand more money should you wish to work for someone else or you will be better minded if you want to start up your own company.
Unfortunatly nowadays if you go to work for someone else and state you have an MBA they still give high rrhaki to experience as well as mba in a particular field.
I think you need to sit back and ask yourself the following:
1. Your reason for doing the course
2. Where you want to see yourself in 5 - 10 years time
3. Will you be dedicated to finish the course as it aint easy.
Good luck with it mate, I think its great that you are looking at different career options in life and improving your current situation and not just settling in one job and thats it
Oh and to answer your question, after my degree I was training to be a clinical psychologist, after completion of all my studies, I ended up realising that I more interest in Advertising, its a hard field to crack and very competitive, wasnt easy but because I wanted to do it so much Ive done well in it and have never looked back
