Definitely prioritize the new job.
It kind of really depends on what your focus is. MBAs are like MFAs: people go out and spend a ton of money when the information is available for free. That’s a serious oversimplification, and it misses a lot of the benefits, but it highlights a good point.
You’re going to have a hard time finding self-study courses. Rasmussen’s free eCertificates seem like they may help. They are self-paced and FREE. While maybe not being graduate level, they’ll help keep your head in the game until you get back to your studies:

You might find that books are the way to go. Find Harvard or Wharton or whomever’s reading lists and knock a little out each night. You’ll be getting the same information as other MBA students and you can do it in your own time. Write reports on what you read to help keep your analyzation and writing skills sharp. Here’s a random list to get you started:

Lastly, there are a ton of recorded lectures and MOOCs to choose from. Search YouTube and Yale/MIT/whatever free courses.
You may not be getting credits through these methods, but you’re keeping your student mind active. Also, you may find you picked up some great, helpful information by diversifying your pool of knowledge.
Hope that helps, bud.
