Should I earn another Master's degree

Should I earn another Master's degree?
I have a Master's in Information Technology, now I am interested in an MBA. I am concerned about the rising cost of education and, if the additional degree will add significantly to my future earning potential?

An MBA makes sense if you want to rise above the IT department. You do need 2-5 years of experience before applying to a decent MBA program, or doing an EMBA (executive program). Are in a company where they will help you with tuition for school? If not, consider finding one where you can work for a few years and then perhaps get an MBA paid by the employer.

The MBA is the one masters degree that I could see adding to your MS in IT. An MBA in the IT field can add quite a bit of punch to a resume, if you go to a quality MBA program. But its actual value depends on what career path you see yourself on. Go to the best MBA program that you can get into, because reputation does matter to some MBA employers. At a minimum, make sure it's AACSB accredited, because a lot of employers won't look at you if it is not. Go to a traditional MBA program, in person, full time or at night or on weekends. Avoid those executive MBA programs, because a lot of employers consider those "MBA lite".

If you can find a job at your school, that could help offset costs. An MBA can get you a lot of places. That on top of your IT degree can make you more valuable, but not by much. If you're concerned about costs, getting a job and holding off a few years until you have some costs reigned in would be the better option.
