would a MBA help you in the long run? As in expediate climbing into upper management? Or would that be a waste of time?

This is so dependent on your business sector. I'm a consultant for a regional environmental consulting firm. A regular MBA would do me very little good. Getting something like the Masters of Energy Business offered by Tulsa is something I am heavily considering though since I could gear it towards environmental law and most of our clients are O&G.

I have friends who are EE or ME working in large engineering firms where an MBA would GREATLY benefit their upward mobility within the company. Just depends on where you work and who you work for. Many companies will pay for your further education if they think it will benefit the company.
