I disagree. Lots of MBAs (and CPAs, etc) start and lead companies. Something like 10-20% of the graduates of top 10 MBA programs start a company when they graduate. And lots of people who do startups don't give a shit about leadership, but just want the easy life they think flipping a startup will give them. I think reality is more nuanced than you've portrayed.


Oops, you are right there are nuances.

In my case, I just wanted to start companies. Many MBAs are for managing companies. In this case, MBA is ideal.
