I too am an MBA grad, and my experience tells me that entrepreneurship is not a skill that can be taught, but rather can be aided with some practical understanding of law, accounting, and marketing tactics, which, along with a nice network of smart people, can absolutely be gained at a top MBA program. An MBA is neither a necessity nor a setback en route to a successful career as an entrepreneur. That's why you can quickly come up with stories of the Mark Zuckerberg's, Andrew Carnegie's, and Steve Jobs' who never graduated college, but just as quickly come up with stories of the Mark Pincus', Phil Knight's, and Jeff Skoll's who got MBA's and became immensely successful entrepreneurs. In fact, MBA's as a whole have a pretty good winning percentage. This could be due to a number of factors, very few I would guess actually having much to do with the education obtained in the MBA program courses themselves.
