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?

The MBA isn't worth anything if you can't leverage the contacts and relationships you build.

I know plenty of engineers that went to get their MBAs...only to never actually move up or use that MBA for anything more than what they're doing. 100% not worth it for them.

However, another colleague went to get his MBA and rocketed his career 10 fold within the last 3 years jumping from level to level until he's a Senior Director at a consulting company making stupid money.

The MBA isn't the magical answer, that's just good marketing.
