You did not give enough information.
What is your field?
How qualified are you?
Do you like what you do-just not where you work?
But to answer your question: If you like what you do, just not where you do it. And assuming you have the time, money and other resources to quit your job and get the MBA in 2 years (as opposed to night school or correspondence while working full time), then you will have a hard time capitalizing on your MBA (it will depend on where you go to school-as a MBA from Harvard is much more valuable than one from Phoenix College).
If you hate your job, then be patient and wait for an opportunity with other companies.
Go out and meet others that do what you do in other companies, or join associations and meet others from other parts of the country. Find out who is hiring or not.
Find out the good companies to work for and then target them in the good areas to work.
A MBA is only as good at the company that is willing to pay you more $$$ for it.
It has been my observation that the MBA is equal to about 5 years of experience. I would rather hire somebody with 5 working years than a kid fresh out of college.
Most of the people that I hired straight out of college washed out within 2-3 years in the environmental consulting field (for the company I worked for - believe me, it was not a great place to work). Most of them were disallusioned by how it was our job to protect the industry from the regulators. They thought they were helping industry get away with breaking the law and most of the activists were culled quickly.

People can throw out statistics about how MBAs make more money. These statistics are true.
However, an MBA will help you advance in the career that you are in. It is pretty worthless if your goal is to change careers.
What I would recommend doing is find a college with an MBA program that you are interested in. Once you decide that is where you would like to pursue your education, call up the school's career center and make an appointment to talk with a career councelor. Bring your resume, tell them what you do, and let them know you are interested in getting an MBA. Ask them what they think the degree will do for job prospects with someone with your experience.
The career councelors are the ones that feel the pulse of the job market for graduates coming out of their school. Don't be afraid to ask them what an MBA might do for you.

Why do you've faith returning to varsity for MBA will open doorways that your contemporary degree hasn't? have you ever seen diverse section time jobs to target to diminish your debt. If in 2 years you're coping with a section time job you've more beneficial patience than me. until eventually I landed the job I went to varsity for i'd artwork like hell to pay off my costs particularly than diddle round and upload to my debt. you may proceed the proper artwork seek for yet i'd say you're spinning your wheels waiting for a dream to ensue. Get a job or 2, seems you've a lot of time to artwork albeit no longer your first decision.

I had the same problem.....same boat, no oars, going nowhere (8 yrs out of school)!
I am in grad school now to get a Masters of Ed. There is no other way to go today! Make yourself marketable by being educated! The dollars will show themselves eventually. As soon as I added 'attending grad school' to my resume...I had a good paying job within 2 weeks!
GO FOR IT! What's the worst that can happen???? Um, you become more intelligent? Can't beat those odds!!! Good luck to you!

I was in the same place, got my mba and now i have a great job.
i wasn't sure about business school, but i learned a lot and came to really like it.
definitely think long and hard if business school is for you - but it is a good bet on your future success.
