I feel than an MBA might be a waste of time for a good programmer. I did a part time program (it was the equivalent of one year of an MBA streched two years part time), and while I thought it was cool learning new things, it was not that useful actually.
Two classes that were good: Accounting, and Business Evaluation, both taught by Harvard professors, which made it very interesting. The rest were kinda flufy.
If you are an entrepenour at heart, and already have business skills, and MBA wont be that much useful. It is a two years commitment, plus costs a lot.
I'd suggest anybody just study accounting, business evaluation, and the ocasional entrepernurial class, and that will be more than enough.
It seems that MBA will be more valuable for people that like to look good in a suit, and want to join big corps, and where your 'title' matters.
