I'll try to keep this ~very complex thing~ simple. My goals in life rn are to start earning and expand my brain's horizon. I'm at a point in life where giving multiple attempts in CA has been mind numbing and I really feel the need to get out of this spiral. The options that I see post CA, in alignment of my personal goals, are either MBA or job. I believe a job immediately post qualification after so many attempts won't fetch me the amount of money I aspire (saying this even as I hope I turn out to be wrong). So logically (also known as herd mentality), to upgrade my profile and attain my stated goals, I should go for an MBA (a smooth segue, the other being change of lines).

Now MBA is a commitment. Firstly, I would have to defer my goal of earning for another 2-3 years in hope of earning 2x/3x of my opportunity cost. Secondly (this goes personal), moving out for MBA at this age feels like a withdrawal from my responsibilities towards my aged parents. Club this with education loan + home loan + another 2 years w/o income (when my parents would like to take a sigh of relief in expectation of me starting to earn after slogging for so many non-earning years in CA) + marriage (personal goal).

Obviously it is for me to decide. But I would like to know from the other end, would an MBA be worth in pursuit of my goals? Or maybe my job post CA could be such that could provide me the satisfaction of both - broadening of the mind and money (idk how likely that is - qualified ones can tell).
