Non-profits will pay you around $10 with Bachelor's degree and around $15 with MBA to start.
You don't need an MBA to start your own business.
Instead of spending more money on MBA, just use that money to start a business.
If you plan to apply for student loan for your MBA on top of your $180k loan for your undergrad already, you are looking at around at least $250k to $300 total student loan (both undergrad and grad).
'Green' tech market is an engineer-oriented crowd with lots of love for the highly-sought clean tech workforce (associate degrees) & no love for MBA's inside their ranks, as MBA's are presumed to 'belong' on the finance, construction, policy and consulting end of the table. (i.e. - I need help running my lemonade stand, but don't want my CPA or my Contractor to be an employee of my lemonade stand because it's 'mine'.) So, as your own business operation, you should be fine if you're good at following the money trail going to which companies.
I'm in Oregon with some friends in the solar production companies. Heads are rolling in terms of org changes, high-turnover, constant concern over 'The Funding' (nature of the beast) while fighting cash-flow issues, outsourcing and competition from overseas. I've worked B2B sales in the sports industry and have seen MBA's (with great marketing ideas) told to email a sales report, find money, or shut up and sell something. I imagine similar attitudes in tech industry esp in this economy.
I would say go for it. For those of you who never heard of George Mason University, it is located in Fairfax, VA, not too far from DC. Their MBA program is AACSB accredited. DC is a great place to make connections, the job market is excellent. The opportunity is too good to pass up!

It is also low on the list of schools around in the general area. Accreditdation means very little.
People who talk about accreditation are usually trying to defend a school with no entrance standards or very low ones. Any school and pretty much get accredited.
There are over 600 schools with the accreditation you mentioned.

Mtaylo is talking about your spelling error or it could be typo. He is not talking about accreditation. He even bolded the word that you typed: Accreditdation
He did not say anything else other than the "smack" and bolding the word that you used.

You obviously did not get that. Duh!
I'm typing on an iPhone and it was clearly a typo as it was spelled correctly in my next post.
The point still remains that a school is in a group with 600+ others. That means next to nothing for quality. I guess picking out a typo was a concession that my point was correct.

I knew that you had a typo and I said that on my post.
Again, you did NOT understand the MESSAGE on Mtaylo's response since he only put your typo in bold and used a "smack" icon. You thought he was talking about accreditation that's why you became defensive on it.
IF he specifically said what he meant on his response to you, then you would understand it.
Botton lime - you only understand spoon feeding and cannot think outside the box.
Who would want to hire someone who cannot think outside the box and has a know-it-all personality in spite of graduating from a brick and mortar school?
