Hey, scientists gotta use the toilet too.

I was in the same boat, Hated my job etc...(actually it was a few jobs) so I did the whole Carreer change Got the MBA and found that I was over educated for my level of experience. So I lucked onto my current job. I love it. Problem is that to everyone else I'm underemployed. They see this great big MBA sticker on my forhead and that I should be making 80-100k.
I do look all the time to see what's out there and most of the MBA jobs I see are financial requiring 5 years of experience.
Some day I'm gonna have to break in to some type of leadership position...but I have time to enjoy where I am now and perhaps exaust my current growth path.
Pinballjim. How did you make the transition?

In the first stages of my career, I was considering doing my MBA, mostly because it was an easy add-on (12 month program, specifically due to my undergrad program) and I thought it would look good on a resume.
My mentor at the time said "If you want an MBA, just hire one."
I say this not to provoke or dismiss the value of an MBA (my sister is doing hers right now and I am 100% supportive ... and tutoring stats and finance), but rather to point out that an MBA isn't a ticket to anywhere -- you need something else before that MBA is of any value.

20 years ago an MBA was impressive. Now it is pretty much standard to be a manager outside of the tech field. Every third resume has one.
