But pursuing an MBA because you think it's a magic solution to $current_career_problem probably won't end well[0]. I've watched a few people enter STEM for the same reason and very quickly burn out. Arguably holding an MBA and making good use of it, or starting a career in STEM and finding a niche (dev, design, ux, what-have-you) certainly has the upshot of potentially larger incomes, but just in passive observation I've watched friends go to bootcamps or take an online class, slap it on a resume and just expect the jobs to start showing up-grow frustrated when they don't, or they get rejected from interviews and return to their former careers tail between their legs. It's not fun to behold. There's probably an economic/era of data/wage-stagnation argument to be made here-that has people racing madly to these career fields, I'm just not qualified on the topic to figure out how to make it.
