MBA Worth it?

Hi everyone, I recently graduated from an above average but non Ivy or junior Ivy university. I am finding it difficult to get a job and am considering getting my MBA. I wanted to hear some thoughts about whether or not an MBA is worth it from those with much more experience in the industry. I am not sure what area of finance I want to go into yet so I am open to almost any. My parents generously are offering to pay for 50% of the cost making it about a 35k investment for me. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
