Is a MBA/IMBA worth it?
What do you learn to do in those degrees?
Is useful in anything if you want to leave your country?
Can you get a job at a bank with it?
Would you do it if you get a scholarship?
In case you ask, I'm the guy from /qa/

No, only for the connections.
If you don't go to a top 20, 2 year MBA program or don't need MBA for job advancement (company will pay), you're wasting your time.
Your alternatives are reading The Personal MBA and then getting familiar on the topics of business with more specialized books on the topics brought up.
Basically just read, you'll learn more than you will in an MBA program (given the same amount of time put in).

That's for USA/first world countries? I live in a 3rd world country where for sure doesn't applies and my only secure chance to move is Italy due to connections.
The MBA would be via a scholarship in China (or Taiwan).

Mostly this
Non top 20 (i go as far as top 10) MBA degrees will only accentuate whatever experience you already have, so if you're already doing pretty well an MBA can give a small hop, but it's generally not worth unless your current employer is saying they'll promote you or will cover the costs, etc..
top 10 schools are always worth though.
Not because they teach you anything but because the signaling power of a top 10 mba degree

I'm unemployed atm and my job experience is unrelated to the field. I just thought that something business related could open more doors to get a job.
Seems like it's not a good idea
Perhaps a master im economy/finance/accounting is more useful?
Thanks

Im kinda in the same situation. I graduated with a major in international studies and a minor in business administration from the University of Miami. My gpa is shit so I don't think I'd even get accepted to a top school. Been an unemployed graduate for a year now

If you're unemployed, an MBA will only get you into more debt. They don't really teach you anything, it's just for networking. You could probably get accepted into some shit tier program, but the credential will be useless for the most part.
Plus, if you can't get an actual business job already, there's no way you would be able to take advantage of an MBA program.
What's your work history like?

It's via a scholarship. Covers everything.
I worked as translator/language teacher. Most my work experience is languages related stuff.
