I'm a 31 year old who really enjoys his job with the government; I currently make in the low 100s and while I could see myself sticking with this job until I retire - part of me is itching to make a move that will increase the amount of money I can make - thus, I am thinking about going to business school.
From my optic, disrupting my career to go back to school is only feasible if I can bring in a significant pay increase. I recognize that initially after graduating from an MBA program i might not see a huge pay increase, but I wonder if I'm being fanciful in thinking that an MBA will increase my earnings cumulatively.
For background, I have limited experience in economics, so I am actually a novice to the field, but I am highly interested by the financial field. My work includes lots of analysis, but not of economic models and I've been told I have a pretty impressive (work) resume.
Any thoughts?
