That seems like a tremendous waste of time and money.
I think if you believe the consensus here at HN (and I do), that an MBA is not worth the time or money unless you are in a field that requires one to break through a glass ceiling, or it's paid by someone else. Networks are pretty easy to build in this day and age of meetups, tech events, conferences etc.
- brianbreslin 15y agonetworks are pretty easy to build, and i've built an extensive one without the expense of a $60-100k MBA, however, it is not the same thing. I'm looking at things from a different perspective than most HN readers are. I see a bubble in education, as in a rapidly decreasing value for "just" my undergrad degree, and am looking out to 20 years from now, not immediate future. Short term, the value is less to me than it is long term (in my bet).
