I have an MBA, thought it was highly useful to my line of work, and made me a better businessperson and consultant. I personally would recommend doing an MBA after a couple of years actually working, however.

i have seen us ruin some pretty mind blowing opportunities (100 million+ stuff) and product lines because of MBA's not understanding what they are doing and why we did what we did.
goes to the point made about listening before.
