I think the actual education would be very beneficial. Most MBA schools now position themselves as very entrepreneurial. Oxford, for example, has a seed fund for startup ideas from MBA students.
The thing that puts me off doing an MBA is the time and the cost. One or two years is a long time to not act on an idea if you've already got some in your head. If you don't already have some startup ideas in your head and you're thinking of doing a MBA I would argue that you're not really a startup person. There are lots of people that want to be an "entrepreneur" but don't have any actual startup ideas.
The cost is my biggest worry though. Having a £50,000 dept with £700/month repayments really does put a dampener on the idea of bootstrapping a startup. Hence why so many MBA graduates end up doing investment banking or consulting.
Me - non-coder, lots of startup ideas, entrepreneur wanabee, business school interview in a week!
