Whether it is worth it will be solely up to you. If you are not happy in your current career and feel that a MBA from Georgetown will help, then by all means, go for it.

Looking at their 2019 employment report it appears:

-95% received offer within 3 months of graduation with 92% accepting an offer
-Average full-time salary was $124,119 with an average signing bonus of $30,737

It looks like the top MBA employers were Amazon, American Airlines, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, etc.

Also looks like 37% went into consulting and 33% went into Finance/Accounting.

By looking at the employment reports you can get a lot of valuable information. Beyond the employment report, I would contact career services to see if you could find out specific position types. Odds are, the vast majority of those who went to Goldman Sachs are not Investment Bankers.

There are some great sales and trading roles in Wall Street.

What do you enjoy most about being a paralegal? Research? Writing?

What sort of clients do you enjoy working with most?

What sort of common themes do you see spanking all of them and how would that relate to problems and opportunities in another industry (IB, sales, trading, research, portfolio management, etc.).

Think deeply about it. Don't take someone else's goals in a your own simply because it sounds cool. Own them. Own them deeply.

I did a quick LinkedIn search and it looks like Georgetown McDonough definitely did send a few kids to GS, so I think it’s a positive sign.
Now given that those numbers are not comparable to schools like H/W or stern or Booth, it just means that it’ll be an upward battle for you-but an MBA is always a good decision. Yes, it’s all the price tag - but it’ll be worth it.

It'll be worth it if, like all things in life, he hustles, sees it through to completion, doesn't take it for granted, and truly leverages the opportunity.
