It really depends on the MBA. All MBAs are not equal. In fact they vary so
widely as to be entirely different things.
An MBA from some local University without a big-time reputation or
extraordinary demands made on the students is a very different thing from an
MBA from Harvard, Wharton or the like. Both kinds of MBAs can be valuable,
but for different kinds of career tracks.
Your idea sounds pretty good, given the outsourcing problems. But you had
better make sure that you would like doing what managers do. Do you like
things like Microsoft Project, where the work of highly skilled and talented
technical employees is estimated and described as if it were an ingredient
in a cake recipe? Or making spreadsheets and knowing how to set certain
values so you get the results you want.
On the other hand, you can be the person whose time is put in the project as
if it were an ingredient in a recipe, and for which a cheaper ingredient can
be easily substituted. Your idea sounds better the more one considers it.
