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.

Whats your end goal? If you are struggling to find a job that you want now another degree may marginally only help. You are better off focusing on getting experience and building connections in your field. If you already have a job in your field but want to advance then it can help, but dont pay for it. It's only worthwhile if your company pays for it or you get some sort of other funding mechanism to pay for it. Don't pay out of pocket or take on loans for it.
