I hate to say it but ...
I think an MBA is a waste of time for most people, but especially those who have business degrees for their BAs. I have looked recently, but in the early 2000's it cost me an average of $110k to hire a good programmer and we realized we could hire MBAs for between $55k and $60k to twiddle Microsoft Project. We certainly got a lot more work out of our programmers by letting the dull drudge-work pass to those poor MBAs.
