In a sense of they respect your Professional experience, but I wouldn't say they dont care. For me it’s similar. I’m in a top-tier MBA program that my consulting firm is sponsoring, and my background includes CFA Level III, LSS Black Belt, and PMP. In my field a CPA isn’t really necessary, so I didn’t pursue it. I think the value of an MBA really depends on the program structure, aspirations, Professors and the Tier can be beneficial sometimes. Modern programs tend to be more updated and include systems and technologies that didn’t exist decades ago and that are essential nowadays, you basically need them. I wouldn’t call an MBA useless, Its really not, at least not for me from what I know, learned and applied.
