Who really uses a large percentage of the knowledge learned undergrad (aside from the medical profession and a few select others). I'll be the first to say that I probably use about 10-15% of what I learned in undegrad - everything else was learned OTJ. So in essence, an undergrad degree is just as worthless but there are tons of jobs that require it.
Same deal with an MBA. Now having an MBA doesn't automatically mean that you will instantly began making fat loot. There is tons of factors that come into play such as where you live, your profession, how competitive the market is, etc. Its all about going into grad school being realistic and I don't think everyone does.

Well, football players grow in college before joining the NFL. I tend to think that the undergrad experience just pushes you to think in new ways (or at least mine did).
I once read an article on how recruiters liked MBAs for one reason...that they were commited to the job. If they were willing to plunk down that much money for the MBA, clearly they wanted the position. Plus there is that whole keeping up with the Jonses mentality - IBM has lots of Harvard MBAs so now we need to also.
Heck I might go get an MBA. I have no idea. Maybe I'll go to med school. If I could skip all that and just collect a pension and live in a retirement community, I might just do that.
