This is a great comment, and I love seeing these kinds of testimonials counteract the dog pile of MBA bashing you usually see in this forum when the degree gets mentioned. Also, the advice about only bothering to consider tier 1 schools (basically top-10 or top-15 depending on who you talk to) is accurate. I think the degree gets a bad rap and is severely under-appreciated here in the Valley, but it's hard to change people's minds and correct biases.
