Career Advice

Hi everyone, 

This is my first post. I am sort of stuck and need some advice. I am currently a Billing Manager at a small law firm. I messed up big time with my undergrad GPA. I graduated with the minimum possible like a 2.0 or 2.5. I have 9 years of experience and realized I want a career change. I have maxed out my compensation of about 100k + bonus (for this size firm). The only route I could think of is MBA. I have two kids and studying has been going decent, but I constantly feel like my time to actually finish and transition is shrinking. It's either Top school (if I can mange to get in) or part time MBA (at a second tier school). Any advice for my particular situation?
