"MBAs Open Doors"

The Seattle Times has an article today, "MBAs Open Doors" that talks about the value of an MBA to people who want to change or improve their careers:

It's the MBA (master's in business administration), an advanced degree that for decades has been considered de rigueur for many business-management positions but has been criticized as being too focused on theory rather than the real world.

But local businesspeople already in the workforce say that returning to school for a master's degree polishes their career, both by enriching their knowledge of business and by unmatched opportunities to learn from fellow students in different industries.

I've written before about why I got my MBA, and I've (clearly) found it to be a wonderful, worthwhile investment. I'm bullish on business degrees in general, because I've seen a lot of folks come in to the UW with one set of skills, and leave with a career that enables them to go a completely different direction.

Anyhow - it's worth a read (or at least a scan).

Any thoughts you care to share publicly about Sony's apparent PR nightmare over copy-protected CDs?
