The MBA is more of a credentialing and marketing expense than an experiential one. For example, some big accounting/finance firms only hire "top MBAs". No amount of garage-startup experience is going to get you in there; remember that not every educational/experiential endeavor can/should be viewed via the "Is this good for a startup?" lens. Don't underestimate the network effects of high-powered rich people who all went to the same school: many companies are unfortunately not meritocracies.
- jasonmw 14y agoI agree with you. I'm not sure if I could justify spending 180k to work for a company that views credentials with higher weight than experience. If I worked for such a company, I would always be worried about the new hire coming in with even higher credentials.
