MBA is only necessary if you can afford to pay by your own, or your company willing to sponsor for you. I've 3 friends who believe MBA can add some value to thier resume:

-Mr A pursue for MBA just after his degree graduation with parents support, after struggle looking for job with his MBA cert, now working as a lecturer. I believe lack of experience is the factor.

-Mr B is a senior engineer in one of the Telco players, almost complete his MBA (part time), but company normally didn't appreciate MBA at executive level, unless he can work his way up to Senior Mgmt (SM) level. Believe me, coz I used to work for the same company! Normally employees know abt the appointment of new SM via mail with his brief work/ education background, which most of them with MBA.

-Mr C working as a vendor to my previous employer, just started his MBA (part time as well) with his own money, every month struggle to keep his social life and wallet balance because of his study.

What I am saying here is, MBA might help you to gain more than 5k/ month, but not during your young age. If I am wrong, some one please share how can you make a fortune with your MBA cert at your young age.
