If you are happy with what you are doing, why would you leave? If you are looking to break through that ceiling, then b-school may be a good place for you. A lot of finance guys go the full-time MBA route to break into PE.
The GMAT is a hurdle. If you clear 710 or 720, then the box is checked at most schools. Undergrad institution and employer/job experience are 90% of the game.

Hey, I'm in the UT's McCombs professional program in Houston. I'm also on the Admissions committee. Shoot me an email, you should come by an info session. We have them every month or so in the med center. I think we even have a web one this friday.

there are other FA tracks that do more than sell fixed annuities and $250 is not capped out as a FA.

I'm well aware, but withing my current company, that would be an impressive feat. Making a move to managed money from my current book of business would be damn near impossible.

If you can't do nights and weekends, and are bent on being a full time student, then you should really consider the very top schools....and I say that as someone with an MBA from LSU.
You are in very good shape now if your estimates of future income is accurate.
If not, then an MBA wouldn't hurt...but you are at a point in life where you'd face serious opportunity costs if you were to quit your job for a couple of years. It's not a big deal if you can go to school at night or even (gulp) online.
Try U of Houston, UT, or Rice if you are in Houston for part time or professional programs...maybe even LSU's online MBA.
If you choose full time, look to the east coast.

Doesn't sound like this should be a problem
