Formal Education

Hey there BP family! So I've been a member for a while, gleaning knowledge from the big brains, but this is my first direct question. 

So I'm a big fan of the school of hard knocks; there's not much studying to be done and you learn the lessons real fast.  However, even though I have been marginally successful, I keep getting asked about my formal education.  I have a BA in finance (concentration in real estate) but I'm considering the MBA route.  My BA gives me a feel good when I look at it, it was an accomplishment. But I can't necessarily say it has truly impacted the style in which I invest.  So, I'm curious about the thoughts of the collective.  

How much formal education do you have? Did it really help you get a few more pennies on the dollar? If you were to approach it in the aspect of formal investment, did your education yield an ROI you would bank on again?

I look forward to your answers, and thank you for the wisdom I've soaked up in the past from your conversations.

-Andrew
