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.

Okay, I was just curious. I don't like managing people either. I enjoy my hobbies but I admit they take a back seat to career. Right now I'm at a point where I don't have any hobbies - just work, family, and PPOT aka the electronic water cooler. I hope to pick up my hobbies again, but the hope is to do that on 4X the prior income. That's the goal, anyway. The best laid plans of mice and men, etc, etc.
