Yes, with the caveat that you go to a top ~25 school and that you're an intellectually curious person. An MBA is really what you make of it. Many people treat getting an MBA as a 2 year vacation (depending on the workload and rigor of the school), do minimal work, and party too much. Personally, I took as many electives as possible and tried to learn about a variety of topics taught from great professors with real world experience.

Unfortunately, I went to school during Covid, so I didn't meet as many people as I would have liked (many classmates couldn't even come to the city my program was in) and thus, I didn't form as many connections as I wanted to during my time, which is also important during an MBA.

To keep it short, if you get into a good school, take advantage of all the knowledge your professors possess, and try to form relationships with classmates and expand your network, I think it's well worth it! Otherwise, probably not, unless your company is paying and you need an MBA to move up the corporate ladder (and that aligns with your career goals).
