I have an employer that would pay for 75% of the degree. However, my boss has a GED and 2 of the 4 senior members of the department have merely a high school education. If I go for the MBA, they may see me as a threat and make my life hell or try to get rid of me....EVEN THOUGH the company itself supports further education. The main reason I'm a bit hesitant is there is a senior member of the group with a masters degree and he is at odds with one of the high school grads (who is one of the manager's best friends). I'm not sure if it's because he has so much more education or if it's a personality conflict.
It also requires a 2 year committment of going to school part time while working full time (55-60 hours a week including the commute). I'm wondering if this would all be worth it. This is more attractive to me over the long term than a certification because it never expires. Also, how would I convince these guys that I am not a threat to them if I go in this direction?
