I say its better to go out and work and get real world experience then decide if an MBA is worth it and by that time if you already are working for a solid company they will most likely help fund it.

However, that's not the question here. An MBA is not the only way to an "education." James is right that many graduate schools require real world experience before they glance at your resume.
