I'm in the Executive MBA at USC. I'm pretty impressed with it, but it's expensive as shite. (I'm on active duty using post 9-11 GI Bill) If you can get your company to pay for it, it's a great opportunity.

Haven't done it yet, but won't go anywhere crazy expensive.

Company will pay 75% and it is mainly an instrument for me to cross over to the people side of my engineering career.

Looking at LSU, UNO and Tulane. Will really come down to which schedule best fits mine.

Depends on what the purpose of the education is for? Are you looking to change careers, just for shits & gigles, increase in salary?

do you have an advanced degree? you typically only get a boost once. so if you do have it, forgo it and do something else - start a business or write a book

it might help some but it won't be like the boost you got from your first degree.

are you trying to break into a new field? that might help.

well education is usually listed LAST on a resume if you have any sort of experience. That tells you its importance to firms hiring.
