CAPM/PMP certification versus MBA degree?

Hey all.

Currently I’m a BA that’s looking to move up through the ranks to Sr BA, PM, manager, director, up and up. I just earned my Greenbelt Six Sigma certification as my company uses that methodology. I was just sticking my head out here to see what people have to say about these certs/degree options. I would look at the CAPM first as it would fit my hour requirements, then gradually move into the PMP cert. But there is the thought about the MBA also. Overkill? Worth the time and money? Any feedback, worthwhile, would be great. Thanks!

. I never even heard of the PMP or CAPM: Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) Credential. Maybe that’s a UK degree?
But everybody’s heard of a masters in Business. I would think that alone makes it more valuable. Just like the name ‘Oxford’ is more impressive than New York University.
