I have spent the last 23 years in tech jobs. I have both a technical and business degrees and I honestly could not tell you that either has made the difference in an interview situation (at least not since I graduated way back when.)

I have helped many co-workers and freinds that have toppoed out by advising them to look horizontally from thier current job and find a parallel path. Often in the technical trades that means getting a position that is more customer-facing. That can mean training, systems engineering, systems analysts (did I just show my age), or even sales. These positions can leverage a lot of you technical savvy, but put you in a position with much more upside. An MBA cannot give you the pratical expereince that these postionins look for.

This may be outside your comfort zone, but take the risk and sell yourself as the pefect candidate for one of these other jobs.
