It would be a (slight, temporary) threadjack, but I'm sure most of us would love to see any data you collected (if available, don't knock yourself out).

I find it interesting that the biggest Pro to getting an MBA seems to be the ability to compete with others who have one. To be honest, that's not really a ringing endorsement.
