Top 25 MBA school grad here, but I completed mine at age 40 after 20 years in business.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
Twenty years later, I retired at 60 as CEO with a huge payout for selling a company. I had been paid VERY well and the payout exceeded what I’d earned in my prior 43 years of employment, combined.
I could have NEVER done it without the concentrated download of knowledge I received during those two years. The network was nice, but led to more great friendships than business advantages.
A very determined individual could get the information by reading the right business books, one a week for two years, but you’d have no one to critique/correct you and smack your ears when your writing/presentation was garbage.
This would be great option for someone determined to always be self-employed, but my MBA degree caused SEVERAL employers to trust me just based on paper.
I’d estimate learning the same thing by on the job failure/learn/correct/repeat would take ten plus years and millions of dollars to cover your mistakes.
