I work in the chemical industry. I deal a lot with the Chinese as well as US manufacturers. I'm not talking about a little here and a little here.....I'm talking about millions of pounds of products on a dialy basis.
This industry is very cut-throat and can be nasty as their is so much competition. You really have to be on top of your game to do well or you are out in the cold. I have yet to come across an MBA whom I deal with regularly. Most of these guys are just natural business men who have a talent.
As I said, MBA's can be valuable in getting a job or helping you advance, but it is not a guarantee of more money or more promotions.....that is based on your performance. And I'm sure there are plenty of high school educated individuals taht can run circles around MBA's.
But if you are in an industry in which an MBA IS IMPORTANT, then I say go for it. It will not hurt you.
