I will sell my soul before I'll get an MBA, but let's look at it this way.
Two little boys graduate from Marquette's econ program. I use Marquette because we're no Chicago or Harvard or MIT, but we're better than an econ degree from State University at Middle of Nowhere. Bobby goes on to work for Northwestern Mutual and gets an MBA from University of Phoenix. Billy goes on to work for Northwestern Mutual but leaves to get an MBA from Harvard. Both of them come apply at my firm - I'd hire Billy over Bobby anyday. Why? Billy went to the classes, he met the people, he did projects with the leaders. Bobby logged onto his computer and wrote a few papers. Billy was taught by Captains of Industry, Bobby was taught by Joe Schmoe, a middle manager at Strong who teaches a few classes on the side.
If you want to get your degree from UofP or anywhere else, fine. Do that. I'm still going to respect a Harvard degree more, and so is anybody else who's worth their paycheck.
