Anyway, I'm currently working in finance where an (*surprise*) MBA is a requirement for my position. I'm happy. 
Imagine that.
And besides, do people really brag about that stuff? What losers..

I'm sure my posts may be interpreted a bit negatively so bear with me
Most of the material taught in an MBA program is easily available in books. And ultimately, really you learn on the job. The value is in the networking that you do. When you set foot on campus you get a book of alums and a stack of business cards. I never liked the idea that someone should be required to get an MBA.
I'm sure for you the transition from accounting to finance was very easy. I suppose if someone was an English major, then there is more value in the MBA for them. Really though, I learned accounting and finance on the job and I'm not so sure I would have been able to handle that torture for months through a textbook.
