In my early days 06-08, I had about 10-12 part time staff reporting to me, and 1 full time staff reporting to me.
For the past 4 years, I managed anywhere from 50-200 staff, and approx 5-6 direct full time report with at least 3 management level employees reporting to me.

An eMBA is a waste of time and a waste of money for you. The recruiting staff may say it's GREAT for you because they want your tuition (business school is a HUGE business), but here's the real deal.
There's two types of MBAs (I'm simplifying here). Your standard full-time MBA and your eMBA (I'm going to group part-time MBAs here).
The MBA is designed for career switchers who want to go into a completely different industry. The MBA was created initially for engineers who wanted to get a business background. You get access to full recruiting here and have dedicated career resources. If you're a career switcher, this is probably the way to go.
An eMBA is a completely different beast. It's designed for executives who have already made it to the top and are looking for more letters behind their name plus an opportunity to network with other like-minded executives. It's not designed to help people like you (I'm assuming here) switch careers. You aren't going to benefit because:
The GMAT doesn't require 18 months to prep for. I prepped for it in a week and got a 700 because I finished my verbal in 10 minutes (oops).
You need to figure out what you want to do and work backwards.
Paying for education for the sake of getting education or for "more opportunities" is a waste of time and money.
