<prompt> Human: I am 37 years old. And I feel I am stuck in my career and cannot see many ways out of it, though I have a decent pay and savings. There are options to do online MBA but the tuition and other costs are as high as 25k. So my questions are -1. Do these degrees have any value especially at this stage in my career? Do companies hire online MBA degree holders?2. Is the investment of 25k worth it in my stage? I have around 300K in savings including my 401K, some real-estate value etc. My wife and I make around 180k per year. We have 1 son and no debt.3. Where should I ask around, if rpf is not a good place for this question?Thanks!  <response>: MBA here. 90 of the value of my MBA was networking. The people I met in my full-time program have helped me in my career and personal life since completing the program. The educational side of the MBA is obviously valuable too, but Id say a higher-level degree is always better done in-person.Whats your current salary? Do you have any opportunities at your current job to grow your salary? If not, then an MBA is definitely something to consider. Average age in MBA programs is generally right around 30. Though 37 is on the high end, its definitely not the highest.
