Thanks for the responses everybody. I have heard so much about "What Color is Your Parachute" that I went out and purchased it tonight and will begin reading it tomorrow.
As for my reasons for wanting an MBA, I enjoy business, making decisions, and helping people get better at their jobs.
Dirtyrascal7, yes I was referring to UW as the major university, but the smaller school is 'City University of Seattle'. I didn't know much about it, but it's a private non-profit school that has bachelors and evening masters programs. I talked to a friend of mine who took their masters in education program (although that isn't apples to apples with an MBA program) and who nows works for the Seattle school district, and she said the general consensus she received about her degree was that a masters degree is a masters degree. Again, that might not hold true for MBA's, which is why I posed the question.
I am definitely looking at all the programs in the area though. One nice thing is that my current employer does a chunk of tuition reimbursement for further education.
