I need help. I've already got an amazing job in a small business that has the potential to grow dramatically. The GMAT is expensive, as is the tuition to get an MBA. Is it worth it? Will the experience and knowledge that I get out of an MBA really worth the money?
A little off topic, I know, but I figured this was the best place to ask.

You didn't provide nearly enough detail for us to give you good advice--that would be like me asking you whether I should buy a Porsche or a Range Rover.
In the grand scheme of things, $250 for the GMAT isn't all that much. $100K for tuition is a significant amount of money, but you have to analyze what your current career path looks like and what your prospects would look like with an MBA. Basically you have to determine what the ROI of an MBA is given your particular circumstances. An MBA isn't the answer for everyone--Steve Jobs and Bill Gates didn't need one to be successful. I guess it depends just how much you believe in this business you're currently in.

I hope an MBA is worth it and perhaps after all I have done I am brainwashed. but I think it gives you more flexibility in case that small business is not the end all be all for the rest of your life.
