I think it depends on what you are doing and what you hope to do. An MBA might mean a great deal, even be essential, in some corporate jobs, but might mean nothing in others. A master's degree is going to cost a bunch of money and time, and one would hope that that investment would lead to higher pay later.
I know people with MA's and PHD's that are out of work or are remarkably underemployed in this tight job market, and some of them have said that they are perceived as overqualified for the jobs they apply for, but there just aren't any at their high level. I know of middle aged teachers that are having a hard time finding new jobs, since they would have to be paid a lot more than a beginning teacher right out of college.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
