Good afternoon from Shanghai.
I am a 36 year old Economics and Global Perspectives teacher living in Shanghai. I have been teaching for 4-years. Prior to that I received a Master's in Energy Policy, and had some work experience in the non-profit sector. Over my lifetime i've had a lot of jobs, but no real career to speak of. I have a 3.45 GPA from UG, and a 3.25 (cum laude) from my MA.
I would like to change that and apply for an MBA, but have some reservations and looking for some guidance and advice on where to begin the process. I would like to work in New England (Boston), and would like to work in utilities and energy ideally, but open to other sectors.
1: With 0 managerial experience will an MBA help me advance right away or make me too over qualified for positions in a company?
2: Does an MBA graduate earn those higher salaries or do those take into account graduates who already have business experience?
3: Am I too old for an MBA?
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong space, i'm new to this board and it seemed like the most appropriate place. Thank you for everyone's suggestions and advice.
Best,

It's hard to say for sure with your first question - by advance right away do you mean in comparison to your current position? An MBA can certainly help you advance your career but whether you get promoted quickly once you get that post-MBA job will depend on your performance in it.
MBAs do also tend to have high salaries, and that does depend in part on your prior work experience in addition to what school you attend. It's hard to say in general how "high" your salary will be since it depends on industry, etc.
At age 36 you are going to be quite a bit over the average age for an MBA (at most full time MBA programs the average years of work experience is 3-5 years post-undergrad) but you might want to consider applying for an EMBA, where your age would not be a factor.
