How about some additional benefits? One of the most valuable aspect of MBA degree attainment is 'liquidity of your human capital,' which is essentially technical lingo for an increased ability to move-up in your existing firm, change firms, change industries, or change geographic location. The more education you have about business, the more valuable you become in the marketplace. The MBA helps you increase your marketability, which provides more opportunities for you to change your individual circumstances.
Finally, what about the intellectual aspects of an MBA degree? No other degree affords you the prospect of being able to see the business world from the 'big picture' perspective than the MBA. It is the educational vehicle that lets you see business opportunities from a local or global - or as some might say: Glocal - context. The MBA degree has value because it gives you the intellectual tools to see how the various business disciplines interact to enhance value to shareholders, employees, the local community, and society has a whole.
What are you waiting for?
