I'm just finishing my MBA and it has literally doubled my salary.
However, here's my advice: Take it seriously and go to a full-time program, night school and weekend programs are only good if your company is paying and you get an agreement for a new job following your degree. Go to a public school in your home state, it's a lot cheaper. Go to the best school that you can get into that meets those criteria. Ask what companies RECRUIT and HIRE MBA's in your desired concentration on that campus. Are those companies ones you want to work for? I got hired by a company that doesn't recruit on my campus, but it's much easier to get a job for one that does. Go to NSHMBA. Don't study for the GMAT, it's a waste of time (people who study don't do any better).
Also, you do not need a "Tier I" degree to be an investment banker. Investment banks hire a lot of people from the next tier down (Big 10, Pac 10, Big 12, Tobbacco Road, and other private school eg Emory, WashU, St. Thomas, ND)
I consider "Tier I" to be Ivy League+Stanford+Chicago and possibly Michigan and Northwestern
