I find this article pretty apropos, considering that I'm going to start grad school this week. I especially like the comment made by one woman in the article: Grad school isn't just about getting an actual degree, it's about shmoozing the hell out of people and making business contacts. Let's get the disillusionment out of the way now.
Building and running a small business often consumes most of an entrepreneur's time, leaving little room for other pursuits. Yet many company owners decide to get an MBA, believing it will help them be better managers, marketers and bosses.
And because many business schools have programs designed to be squeezed into a business person's overscheduled life, a graduate degree doesn't have to be one of those "some day" pipe dreams.
