I would do the same iffn i were still young.
But ..... I'm older and the shine of moving higher no longer shines. I'm as high up as i wanna be now.
I figured out a secret, please don't tell anyone:
after a certain point (usually head of a large department) advancement isn't worth it anymore. Twice the headaches and politics with 15% more pay. AT EACH BUMP!
As soon as you well into the six figure realm THEY OWN YOU!
There was a time I wanted to run an entire refinery, and an MBA would have helped. But now if it were ever offered to me (and it won't) I'd run away.
I got my engineering degree kinda late in life and my business degree a few years later. but I hadta work and make a living for a while until I could afford to go back to skool.
Gots plenty o'hands on experience tho, I think that helped.
