MBA's are good if you know what your going to use it for. For example, making a career change, or being on a career path requires an MBA to be promoted.

MBAs are for career changes or management positions...
And if you ain't going to a Top 25 business school kinda not worth betting your career on now...

Get the undergrad degree, go work for someone then get them to pay for the MBA, then it becomes a free added bonus for your career and you can get away with going somewhere outside the top 10 or 25. I see breh said top 25, I would argue top 10 are only worth it IF you plan on paying for it.

Most of my college debt is from pursuing an MBA.
It’s a degree not to pursue in vain or out the pocket if you can help it.

To the best of my knowledge yesSomeone told me you can be a manager anywhere and be making 100k easy with an MBA. Am I being lied to?
If it was that easy everyone would get an MBA and make 6 figures
this and thats where my MBA took me

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Get your undergrad degree, get in with a fortune 500, work your way up...
Better than any MBA that's not a top 25 program.

Might be worth a read
The debt isn't worth it.
Everyone thinks they're going to land one of the tops gigs at McKinsey, Bain, Goldman Sachs, etc. after business school.
There are only so many of those opportunities available.
Quite often people end up in roles that are only paying them marginally better than what they would have made if they'd just continued to climb the ladder. And they've added hella debt to their balance sheet in the process and additional stress.
It's not a decision to be taken lightly. Think carefully about what you want to get out of the program. What does post-MBA success look like for you? Is it attainable, given your pre-MBA background and rep of your school?
In other words, a non-profit worker who gets into Penn typically isn't going to leave business school and land a job at a top private equity firm!
But, some people take on the debt, thinking such an outcome is the norm!
