I think maxtower's advice is spot-on. I believe you will get much more out of an MBA and be able to contribute much more to the program with prior working experience. Also, as a bonus most companies will supplement much of the cost of continuing education.

In the past most MBA programs required X number of working years before they'd even consider someone for the program, however because people will pay for an MBA regardless of working experience this requirement has pretty much disappeared. I'm kind of ranting here, but I think the business of higher education has really killed the prestige of an MBA in recent years.
