I don’t have an MBA. I used to fear that this would put me at a disadvantage in starting my own company, but now I’m convinced that it may be the other way around. In some reputable surveys, as many as two-thirds of entrepreneurs felt that their entrepreneurial spirit was more ingrained than learned, so a specific education level is at least irrelevant.

I absolutely agree. You can not learn from the school the real business situation.

Marty: I understand your sentiment regarding the MBA. Isn't the case that a MBA student should have some sort of business experience before starting the studies? How about combining studies with business experience? Could you teach hands-on entrepreneurship in academia?
