So I started my MBA degree last month. It seems like the MBA lost its shine since soon many universities are offering it. For those who got a job in the business realm, did having the MBA help?

In todays environment you would add great value to your person by certifying as PMP, through the Project Management Institute (PMI). It is likely that your University has a program.

There is also a good chance that having a PMP could could for some credit toward your MBA. I would also add that having both an MBA and PMP is a powerful combination.

I worked for a large global conglomerate. They valued the MBA and paid for most of it. To them, it didn't matter where I got it. It mattered far more that I already worked for them and that they knew who I was. Based on my experience with that, I believe that it has relatively little luster. I didn't see people getting hired because they had an MBA. We had many where their Master's in a STEM field had a lot to do with getting hired, including me.

Getting a MANAGEMENT job is easier with an MBA. It made it easier for me in Civil Service. In the end, I ran out of manager promotions and attended the Executive Classes from OPM...they were very similar to my MBA!
