Does an MBA make sense?

Quick background - 3.5 gpa undergrand from state school, MSF from BC, 2 years in IB and will have 2+ yrs at top 3 HF by the time I would enter in Fall 2007. I'm trying to think through the +/-'s of going back to school. I think I could get a good job after the HF exposure here, but just don't really know what I want to do "when I grow up". I think b-school would be a great time and place to learn about other career options and get some perspective on life. I would have to give up 2 years of making very good money while taking on loans for tuition, etc, but really think i would benefit personally and professionally from taking a step back from the working world for a couple years. (There is so much life to catch up on when you work 80+ hrs/wk....) Other problem is that I really only think it would be worth it if I went to a top 3-5 school, but given my lack of time to study and rest, I'm a bit worried about getting a great score on the GMAT and having time for essays, etc. Add in the fact that my wife and I are expecting our first chold in Sept of '06 and it gets even more confusing. Well, basically this was just a way to vent, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
