Is an MBA worth it? (alien.top)

I am thinking of going into business and would like to get an MBA. I have 8 years of experience writing software professionally and a background in CS. My goal is to learn about business, running them, scaling them, raising money, etc.

Will getting an MBA help me achieve this goal?

In my local region an MBA is the equivalent of a bachelor's in business and a bachelor's is just a piece of paper to most employers. I worked pretty hard to get my bachelor's in business admin and had The HARDEST time finding anything!! Seriously felt like my bachelor's was just considered to be a high school diploma to every place I applied. I even applied to a position in hr at a place to get called in for an interview only to find out they were interviewing me for an entry level warehouse position because I had no experience (can't get hr or any useful experience in an entry level warehouse position either) they offered me less pay than I was already getting. Needless to say I was not nice to the interview, but still professional.
My advice on an MBA would be to really look into it and your goals. If you live in a state with a high education level like me then I'd plan on moving somewhere else after you get your MBA. I've seen countless positions here looking for an MBA and or 5+years in the exact position while obviously offering 40k or less salary.
