MBA are very useful if one is looking to further expand ones business knowledge and network... not all organizations would value MBAs equally and not all MBAs are equal as well.

I guess MBAs would be handy at a later stage in life when one is looking to improve oneself better. For instance, one is in mid management level in an MNC and looking for an opportunity to break into the senior management level. Management consulting firms have high regards for MBAs they are probably the most appreciative of the value of ones MBA.

In Malaysia itself we have a couple of global consulting firms. and NO they do not only accept MBAs. They do accept non-MBAs. Usually if one joins with MBA they usually join as a Consultant rather than Business Analyst level. Starting pay for Business Analyst on average is +- RM10k.

Most Business Analyst are not from business schools or MBAs. Most Consultants are however some may not be as they moved up the ranks from BA. However, the bigger strategy firms encourages their Consultants to attend business school.
