I am taking a Masters degree at the moment - it is a "2/3" program, meaning that I have two thirds of regular workload in addition to my full time job. It's hell and takes a lot of effort, but I get to attend one of the better schools here in Norway for five weeks a year for lectures etc, so it's not an online course. The syllabus for this year is as tall as a mountain and sometimes my gut feeling says "this is not good" and I still have two and a half years to go but I think (or hope) that it will be worth the effort.

It's not an MBA, but a Master of Management. It's a practical degree, meaning that I'm supposed to be able to use the stuff I learn when I get back to work after each week of lectures. I am taking Innovation and plan to continue with courses which focus on business organization and strategy.

I have to say, it's very interesting - I'm 35 and have been thinking that I really need to get my Masters before I get too old. But some of my fellow students are way above 50. I guess it's never too late.
