My MBA feels like a cash grab. I didn’t learn much and it cost a ton. Given the chance to go back I would rethink that decision. However, my CPA immediately started paying dividends. Had my choice of firms, salary negotiations tend to end favorable, and I feel as if the employer/employee relationship has done a 180.
Getting an MBA helped secure some positions I needed as I progressed through my career, but I do feel like I could have done most things I've accomplished without it. Firms seem a bit more lax about it these days, so I wouldn't say you should pressure yourself to get one if you don't see a direct benefit.
