I had thoughts of staying and getting my masters, but with a wife and baby on the way at the time of graduation, I had to get my arse to work. For the more experienced engineers out there, would a MBA help you in the long run? As in expediate climbing into upper management? Or would that be a waste of time?

General Civil or environmental
You mean the straight-up environmental or the civil water resources & environmental?
I took environmental a little over a year ago. In no way, shape or form would I have come remotely close to passing had I not been in the workforce for 4 years. That being said, I studied about 10-15 hours and passed on the first go. Once I realized it was all mass-balance and simple chemistry I kicked arse. If you do end up taking the general environmental, buy these two books:
Environmental Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam, Second Edition
&
Engineering Unit Conversions
All the practice problem books and practice tests are nice but weren't much help to me.
