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.
It seems to be useful for career change (e.g. my sister had an interior design degree, got her MBA and is fairly high up at Rogers) or for making you "legitimate" - again using a personal example, I was a manager but only had a History MA. I should have got that MBA 15 years ago and continued down that path. Now, with a law degree, an MBA is of dubious value financially (in terms of dollars/time in and dollars out), but it would allow me (presumably) to change careers and locations. It's a tough decision.
