Not trying to beat up on you or anything- but just sort through the statistics with a more specific approach to explain why I strongly advocate people get their MBA if they intend to rise in the corporate ranks.

I added a link to the executive program -- it is not an MBA, but rather an intensive course for seasoned executives. I don't feel beat up on at all! I, personally, like to have some information to look at when I consider things like whether I would want to go back and get an MBA.
I think an MBA is a great way to get a foot in the door if you want to change careers, especially into something like finance or strategy. I don't think it is necessary for everyone who wants to move up in corporate america, though (just my opinion). For that kind of money, I would hope everyone does some thorough research into what he or she is looking to get out of the MBA and which programs, if any, would suit those needs.
