There are studies that find on 'average', people with MBA's do not receive
the investment returns that a 'average' MBA costs (which including
opportunity costs).

If I had that decision to do over again (as I did not go for a graduate
degree right away) I would do the same thing, as the experience is more
important.

The only difficulty is jump starting back into a graduate degree.

If I was going into the teaching profession it would be advantageous to
get a graduate degree, but not monetarily.

Just my .02 euros.
