    Benefits of an MBA

    I think with the certifications you've got under your belt, I don't think the MBA is going to do much more. I know when I've worked with PMOs I never know if they have MBAs or not, but can guarantee you I'm informed or knows one way or another what PM certification they have or what major projects/achievements. Good luck though!

    I did an MBA over 4 years part time while working full time. I took a year off in between because it was killing me. I think it cost about $40k. We were warned before starting that for men, 1:5 relationships & for women, 1:3 relationships fail by the end of it. Mine ended 6 weeks in.

    You can specialise in areas. I wish I had. Whilst it improved my career prospects somewhat, there wasnt much of a return on investment. DH doesnt have a degree but he has 20 years professional experience and earns more than I could.

    the best subject I studied included a study tour to northern Italy. That was a great tax deductible expense
