Also, an MBA is probably the best chance in your professional life to change career tracks. So many of my classmates (H/W/S) went from being consultants to bankers, bankers to industry, industry to VC, VC to industry, etc etc. It was almost as if folks were trading jobs, professions with each other.
That's what I see an MBA is. It's essentially my bullet to switch into waht I want to do with my career, and less so about the money. I'll probably end up with a minimal increase in my post MBA salary, if any, and certainly less than if I just stay where I am for 2 years.
And I don't think CS is necessarily about learning how to code, but just knowing how to structure everything and how/if something can work systematically. You can offshore all the actual coding as much as you want, but ime, those Indian outsourcers couldn't think for themselves to save their lives.
