I've turned down several very lucrative jobs to go back and stay at school. Some days I regret it, some days I don't. I believe that I've lost about half a million dollars of income, neglecting tuition costs and missed opportunities.
Ultimately, it comes down on how much you value your time and what you want to do for a good chunk of your life. My brother is debt-committed to being a lawyer, but right now he hates his articling life and is not optimistic about the rest of his career. I'm pretty sure I'll get an MBA in my 30's, but right now I can't wait to finish my current degree.
