Hope you're using your GI Bill. Olin? If you were enlisted, you're at least 42ish. Officer, 46ish. ROI on an MBA is low at those ages, though better if you have benefits like YRP.
Not to get off topic, I'm 43, starting my 4th class in my MBA program.

So far, it all basically sucks. But I'm learning a lot. And my focus will compliment my business, so I'm hoping the ROI is there. Either way, I've got a few customers that have been impressed, so there are residual benefits.

Back on topic, once I get this program done, x5m for me. No question about it.
It wasn't intended as a knock. I hope it didn't come off that way. I'm starting full time at a pretty great program this fall but even at my age (younger than both of you salty dogs) I would have a hard time justifying moving and pursuing it if GI Bill and YRP didn't make it basically free in comparison to full tuition.

If you're using it to complement an existing business you have a good chance at it being the best choice you ever made. It's harder if you're older and are looking to break into a new career.
