<prompt> Human: Currently, working for a good company. But to propel my career forward, I am looking at going back to school. I was considering an CPA but dont think it will be ideal. I will probably have to pay for it myself at this point in my career. Will it be worth it long term?Edit: I should note that I have an BBA.  <response>: Just speaking very generally, I know a lot of people with MBAs and, at least in my opinion, it was a great idea for some of them and a waste of time for others.They tend to fall into 3 categories. The first went to top schools, went on to investment banking or consulting then some stayed and some moved on. The second went to schools further down the food chain and went into jobs in which an MBA is typical, but some people make it without. The third group got an MBA even though they had some other degree law, PhD in geophysics, etc. either because they wanted to move more into the business side of things or simp,y because they thought it would look good on their resume.Id say it definitely made sense for the first group, generally made sense for the second group and is very, very hit or miss for the third group.
