Your argument has some merit in context of someone with min. work experience in their field, late 20's-early 30's looking to use a MBA to advance.
For someone with experience, advancing within their company or gov type employment these work fine. I suggested this to a friend later 30's with a decade plus at one of the largest insurance companies, he got a $1.50 an hour raise upon enrollment and will get an extra $2 when he graduates (along with points towards promotions). They will also reimburse him when finished. This $3,000 MBA will have given him a $3,000 raise a year for enrolling, $7,280 raise after grad, even if nothing else changes.
At 54 and a student on this myself, I promise you that very few people have more contacts in my industry than I do, and not doing this MBA to get contacts.
