Which MBA Program to Choose?

I have been looking around at full-time and executive MBA programs and I feel that neither really fit my current situation. I am in my early 30's and have been working full-time and going to school full-time for my bachelors for the last 3 years; prior to that I was an automotive technician for about 10 years and served in the Marine Corps. My current employer (government) is a set pay schedule and a dead-end career, so I want to get an MBA to change careers. I will have to sell my house and move across the country for the schools that I want to go to, so I will have to secure a job in that area after acceptance and before classes start.
Since I will have to work to support my financial obligations and pay for a place to live I don't feel a full-time is best. However, since I will just be starting a new job, most likely non-supervisory, where I am not likely to get corporate sponsorship and my MBA will go underutilized, I don't feel like an executive MBA is a good fit either.
Thoughts?
