    One company I worked for paid for my MBA (state school). I still keep in touch with colleagues from the program. About 1/3 were engineers. The non-engineers are still working same jobs as before, just at a senior level...none in management. A couple of the engineers went to work at startups in other countries. Most of the IT/PM folks struggled career-wise. No one seems thrilled about what they were able to do with it. All in all, not the expected outcome. But I will say that on my end the program challenged me to think differently, be creative when it came to making money, think about multiple revenue streams, and yeah...in a way, these past few years I would say it saved me. An MBA is most useful within two years of receiving it, but otherwise it's more like a certification. If your school doesn't have a strong business network, there are MBA networks all over. Also, learning to negotiate is essential. To make most of an MBA, you must learn to turn down "good enough" and wait for "best possible"...otherwise you will always end up in jobs that are "good enough". These are useful things to know, I think. I wish I would have known them before/after I did the program.

    Haven't done one, but it was recommended to me to go for an Executive MBA if I decide to pursue that route. The TMBA at UW is solid, but the EMBA is more challenging and the network is stronger. But, it also depends on your goals for your MBA.
