<p>Almost nobody (maybe in fact NOBODY) has an MBA in my IT department and an many ohter places that I have worked, However, the key in my first sentence is MANY PALCES. Yes, this is the most important part of my post. I happen to live in very economically depressed region and I acnnot relocate because of my husband job. When I was looking for many jobs in my life (I am currently at my employment place #9 ) I was told by many that they were impressed by my MBA. It is not easy at all to find a job at our place and surrounding area (Detroit would be a better alterantive and some are driving to Detroit on a daily basis, so we are much worse than Detroit, believ it or not). Not only I found many local jobs over and over and over, but I also was able to find most of them based on the ads in local newspaper. The known statistical chance of that is about 2%.
Yes, in my case my MBA served me awesomely, degree that I do not need at all in my job positions as a Computer Programmer (they all had different titiles, it could be Analyst or whatever, but what I do is writing software and it has been the same for over 30 years and in the same really economically depressed locality)</p>
