Professional work experience is highly valued in MBA admissions. You will apply what you learned while working to the concepts you learn in graduate school. Also, you will be at a disadvantage coming out of an MBA program with no professional work experience on your resume. Many people have 2-5 years of work experience post-undergrad (some have much more), in addition to the advanced degree.

I took some time off after undergraduate school, and I still have a strong desire to apply to graduate school. I feel as though my time off and in the workplace has clarified many of my career objectives and will serve me well in graduate admissions. It was also nice to save up some money and pay down my student loans.
