Does anybody know if getting an MBA is still worth it? I'm currently in Sales and on the path to making about 80K-85K this year, however, I'm looking to seek a better and higher paid job in sales but also more in an executive position, I'm not from the US and my bachelor's degree is from my country and is not related to sales... Does anybody know if pursuing an MBA would make sense in my position? Or if you think you can recommend any other Masters' Degree or advice, let me know

If you want to stick with Sales, in most industries, it won't make a difference.

It won't be necessary but might be helpful if you ever want to move into management. Work experience is going to trump a formal degree in most cases.

Exactly, if you are already in this field pursuing more work experience would outweigh a degree. You can also build your network getting experience.

If you get an MBA, get it somewhere with a strong reputation and network, because that is 90% of the value of the degree.
