[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think about it, how stupid is a business degree. If you are a businessman you don't need a degree at all.start a landscaping business at 18 then put on a suit and market yourself after investing the money you made while chip was at 6 years of b school. Read the Wall Street journal every day. Schmooz, look good and work hard.[/quote]

MBA entrepreneur here. I owned a small business going into my MBA and wondered about that too. However, entrepreneurs understand the full range of what an MBA teaches you. Sure, I aced my classes in entrpreneurship and operations management, but I struggled in financial accounting and corporate finance, for good reason. I had never thought about those topics in detail, and as an entrepreneur just focused on cashflow without thinking about the bigger picture you can see from financial statements.

Strategy/strategic management was also great for me -- it (along with some other courses) teaches you different ways to approach a problem.

For me at least, the MBA was extremely valuable. I was able to take my business to the next level because of it.
