I have to agre with Bill, If you CAN stay in school, you could gain a 
valuable asset with the MBA.  For many of us that wasn't/isn't an option 
and might be VERY useful  as the market changes over the next few years 
as you finish.  At the same time, wouldn't it be possible to GET at 
least some experience as you earn the MBA.  There  are ways to gain 
limited but valuable experience while going to school - check with the 
schools placement center for possible internships, etc.  It COULD be a 
Win-Win-Win situation 1) you get MBA, 2) you get EXPERIENCE 3) an 
potential future employer gets an internally trained employee with an 
MBA!  if you can find the right employer you might even get a tuition 
reimbursement program to help with tuition! BONUS!!

If you CAN you should try to get BOTH!!
