The only thing that comes to my mind is that when you acquire MBA, you can teach. Can someone elaborate the opportunities/advantages a person could have being MBA?

If you come from an entirely different field, let's say technical, and you want to shift careers, an MBA will help you enter the corporate business world, because it's an added credential. However, 1.) it usually doesn't come cheap and 2.) they're now a dime a dozen. So, be sure that the payout is worth it, and that you differentiate yourself enough, either by performing really well, or by going to a reputable school, or both.
A lot of schools offer MBA's locally, but in terms of value to employers, they are not all the same.
As much as possible take your MBA abroad because the benefits you will reap out of a US MBA is far greater than the benefits you will reap from a local MBA. The US MBA is a passport to get into the US corporate world. Mind you, the US corporate world is not easy to get into. OFWs in the US generally enter the country for technical positions (IT, Engineers, Accountants, Architects, Doctors, Nurses and Dentists).
I am really sad for those who are taking the course for the wrong reasons. Some think it is a highway to promotion when employers hardly care if they have an MBA. They would rather focus on what you have achieved over time in your work.
Some take the MBA to gain the name. They can erase / upgrade themselves from not belonging to the top 3 universities to become one of them. Sadly, the alumni especially the hardcore blue or green blooded don't even recognize you as an alumni when you did not attend at least an undergraduate course there.
So, you end up in a classroom 50% filled with sales executives and clerks who want an Ateneo pedigree of a La Salle name to be placed in their resume. And when the school uses the case method, what kind of output you think you will get?
Be happy knowing that these schools are quietly ripping you off with teachers that cannot even survive the rigors of the real world.
di ba talaga considered na alumni sa isang school kung nagmasteral ka lang dun???
Ask any true blue Atenean, they will snicker at you. Ask any LSGH to DLSU grad and they will quietly laugh at you.
Sure, technically you are an alumnus of the school. But they know how you got it and that is not as tough as the rigors they went through surviving their undergraduate curriculum
IT DEPENDS.
If you think you can get a promotion by getting an MBA today, NO!
If you think you can outclass an experienced person vying for the same position just because you have an MBA - NO!
If you want to teach - YES because universities require a graduate degree to teach undergraduates.
If you want to learn and get ahead, depends on where you will take it. Google on comments about local MBA programs and you will get a fine clue on what it will give you.

I've done MBA Marketing and now i'm Digital media marketer with successfull company also doing custom essay writing service and But you have to get the degree from a good school. and degree is most important as people thing but my suggestion is to you don't think about good grades and good marks just love your field and play with your work then you get succes otherwise you can't if you don't love your work
Like if there's a desirable position in the company you want to fill in but having MBA is strictly required.
May nagsabi dito, if you plan to work in the US, get a US MBA daw. But the question is, there are thousands of MBA graduates in the US, both locals and foreigners (China, India and Europeans - all with extraordinary credentials). It might not worth the money you spend for an expensive tuition for something that have no job assurance.
