While I respect much of formal education, as I was reading this article it struck me again just how slow and expensive it is to go to something like Harvard Business School compared to just using your brain and taking advantage of all the amazing free stuff on the Internet. I've read tons of accounts of businesses, founders dilemmas, market studies, case studies, etc. all for free on the web. I don't even have to drive anywhere, fill out any forms, jump through any bureaucratic/academic hoops, etc. Not to say it's completely superior, because it isn't, but it makes traditional university education look increasingly antiquated.
- GFischer 16y agoWhat I'm going to Business School for is not so much the curriculum, but the chance to interact with other like-minded people, get acquainted and also share knowledge and insight (I hope!). It's also very valued outside the enterpreneurship world, if you ever want the job security (not to mention the network you should make, that should give you some job offers). I'm starting in April (at ORT here in Uruguay), I hope it lives up to my expectations :) .
