This about all of the tech recruiters that contact you for employment. Now imagine yourself being one of them. That's what entry level sales is like. You are dialing for dollars all day, every day. You might get a better sales gig if you stick with sales long enough to kind of get it. If you don't like competition and hassle, sales is probably not for you.
If you can afford to pay for an MBA out of pocket, maybe it'd be a good investment. If you need to borrow a ton of money, your going to have a bad time after graduation. Trying to pay back a lot of money after graduation sucks, especially at a time where you're trying to experiment and take risk.
You might fair better if you can get into a top 10 MBA program, but you should think about exactly what you're going to get out of an MBA program. Think about this. Don't focus on what you're going to learn in an MBA program. Focus on the employers that actively recruit from a school you're considering. If that list of employers and the positions the recruit for looks appealing to you, only apply to schools that have an impressive number of companies who recruit for jobs you'd want. Then work your butt off to get into one of those schools, and develop the profile needed to be one of the people those companies recruit. Any other path is far too unpredictable to make any solid bets around.
