I agree that "networking" delivers value, but the academia is very worthwhile, too.
Marc Andreesson's post analyzing the credit crunch that forced hedge fund Citadel to dissolve is a great example of the value of "business education."
Command of that realm of knowledge is completely germane to a web software startup, etc.
- nostrademons 19y agoYou can get most of that info elsewhere, though. I have no formal education in finance, but I understood everything in the Sowood letter, even without Marc's commentary. (Really, sometimes I think that money managers would do well to read Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor and nothing else. Many of the complicated mathematical stuff - which my employer makes a business of selling - actually hurts your performance in the long run.)
