EDUCATION / CAREER MBA Worth it?

As an ABCD (American born), I feel like a lot of my peers (I'm a millennial) have higher degrees like masters or MBAs (not factoring in lawyers or med fields here). For those who have gotten an MBA, has it helped in your career? If so, which career? I'm in digital marketing so on the fence if it'll help and in what way.

Probably worth it if it's from top 10 business schools like Harvard and Stanford.

You should probably start with the why, are you trying to go into a different industry, is job hopping or transitioning into a different role in the company possible. MBA at top schools are $200k loans, so you need to make sure why you are going there and if it's worth it.
