Thought I should bring this to your attention. I know we have discussed these issues before, but I dont think it would hurt to know more.
https://www.bnet.com/2436-13070_23-170575.html
Here is an introduction (copy and pasted here under fair use):
For recruiters and executives, MBAs have long been considered the holy grail of the candidate pool. And for employees, the degree is that traditional ticket to corporate success, promising a bigger salary, fast-track promotions, and professional prestige.
But in the eyes of more and more top management thinkers — many of them from top business schools — the value of the MBA is dropping faster than home prices these days. We dug through all the latest research, interviewed both critics and advocates, and organized our findings. We show you five hard truths about the degree and how to decode the class catalog jargon to tell you what you’ll really be learning for your $60k. On the other side of the interview desk, CEOs and VPs give their candid opinions about when they would — and wouldn’t — hire an MBA.
Update: Jenna Miller, our Back to B-School columnist, rebuts the standard assumptions about an MBA candidate's mercenary motives and advocates for the nonfinancial ROI.

A lot of interesting ideas but the statements can very well be applied to any degree (including MBA).
I dont think that I would necessarily say yes to any of those 5 statements as to why an MBA is not worth its value. A lot of discussions have happened on this forum regarding the potential and value of an MBA degree, but one statement from me -
If the authors of the article say an MBA degree is not worth its value, how do they justify the rising number of applications and a greater demand for the degree ascross all job categories in the current market (not only the US)

It might be a good question to ask them. I am not arguing either way.
Thought these links were interesting too:
