MBA Worth it?

Hey everyone, I recently graduated from an above average but not junior ivy or Ivy League business school with a finance degree and am having difficulty finding my first entry level position. I’m not entirely sure what area of finance I want so I am open to pretty much all at the moment. I wanted to get some opinions on whether an MBA is worth it. My parents generously are willing to cover 50% of the cost but that still leaves a cost of roughly 35k. Thoughts?
