I`ve been pondering this for a while, but I`m not quite sure it is necessary...

That being said, I did note one quote you included in your blog Dean:
"Your success in life will depend on the books you read and the people you meet."
That`s a pretty telling quote when you reference an MBA - because regardless of how you evaluate the classroom experience, the fact is you encounter an immense number of smart, accomplished people when you`re completing an MBA. It`s a relatively unique combination of talented people. If your success depends on the people you meet, then you could do worse than the people you get to spend a great deal of time learning from and networking with in business school (and some of the books are pretty useful as well).
So please let the MBA-bashing continue - just thought I`d chime in as one of the suckers - I`m with you on entrepreneurship, if you`re set on being an entrepreneur and getting an MBA, make your focus strategy or finance or marketing - and get the most out of that network!
