Interesting read.

I started my MBA last year and threw in the towel after the second semester.

It was a complete waste of time and rehash of what I had already learned as a manager.

I felt it was a better use of time to actually investigate business opportunities than to have another acronym after my name.

Besides, my PMP is worth more than a MBA in the current market...

I could not agree more about the MBA. During my undergrad I had MBA students in my class (our nomenclature was 401 was senior undergrad, and the same class was labeled as 601 for grad students, or 301 for junior undergrad and 501 for 1st year grad students). They read the same book as me (probably for the second time as they took the same class as undergads), attended the same lectures as me, and only had to do a few extra papers than I did (took the same tests with the same questions as me). Now maybe they also had classes that were for grads only, but all of my undergrad classes had the 301/501 or 401/601 (finance, accounting, mgmt). So in my junior year of undergrad I realized what a racket the MBA was.
