David has a good post about the value of an MBA. I’ve written posts in a similar vein before. You can’t judge someone based purely on their education unless that is the only thing they’ve got. David and I had a conversation about this prior to the most recent YNR Social and I think we’re both in the camp that an MBA, given the right prior experience and background, can be a useful thing to accomplish. But then both of us went through one year programs (he went to INSEAD) and we both started companies prior to getting our MBAs. Maybe starting a company as an admission requirement into b-school would help generate better business leaders.

So, I’m back. After graduating from Emory, the family and I decided to head out on vacation (more on this later). While I was gone, some folks posted some comments which warrant responses. Normally I respond within the posts, but this time I’ll devote a posting to reply to everyone.

I’ve promised to dissect my MBA experience at Goizueta Business School before and I thought publishing now, after graduation, made the most sense.
On May 15, 2006, two days shy of a full calendar year, I became a full-time MBA graduate from Emory’s Goizueta Business School. “Wait a second here,” you say. “Aren’t full time programs two years long?” Yes, normally they are two years long but I was a part of a fifty-four student program which compresses the entire MBA experience into one calendar year. As a side note, I met some of the new incoming students for the new one year class (they started the day after graduation just like we did last year). The class is about fifty-eight students (I think) for the 2007 graduating class.
