Part of it is that I realized I am not management material, and the only thing an MBA would buy me around here is a leg up in an interview for a management position. It's not that I'm not capable either, but I thoroughly don't enjoy being a manager. Part of it is that I have become too wrapped up in my hobbies to set them aside to get a graduate degree. Part of it is that an MBA would do me much more benefit if I wanted to leave my company...and I'm just too darn comfortable to do that.

At heart, I'm a tech guy. I currently work on knowledge-based systems, but am exploring becoming a database administrator (DBA). It's not that I've given up on continuing education--I've taken it in a different direction.
