I only met one professor who insisted that you address him as "Dr. xxxx". He was one of the nicest guys I ever had in college, but he was really hung up on that title. However, I have seen a lot of job postings and publications that require MBA or MA degrees before they will even consider you, so having this acronym after your name has merit.
Whether you are qualified for a given position or publication requires the review of your entire background and that is where the resume, references, and interview(s) come in.

Especially if one is not supposed to use the acronym after their name... Any resume or LinkedIn request where the person has "MBA" or "MA" at the end of his/her name gets permanently deleted/ignored/blocked. Under "Education" is fine. HUGE pet peeve of mine.
