Colin:
I think the MBA is more impressive to clients and prospects, at least they
don't have to ask what it is like they do for the CDP.  More importantly is
WHAT I learned while studying for my MBA.  I took a course in
Entrepreneurship and Enterprise and it has proved very valuable in starting
my own consulting firm.  Accountants like it when you can speak their
language and I feel very comfortable talking with CEOs and upper management.
The MBA was definitely worth it.  (I still can't spell though).
