This might be an interesting anecdote to think about the value of business education. I have a number of friends at top tier business schools (HBS, Stanford's GSB, etc.). Of these people none studied business in college (though they did go to work in management, finance, or consulting post college. One worked in tech).
I asked one recently whether he thought there was any value in what he was learning in business school or whether it only served as a signal to other business school graduates that you're at least somewhat competent and have jumped through the requisite hoops. His answer was basically that the only value of business school was the relationships you made and the network you became a part of it. The actual content of what you're taught is pretty easy to learn on your own.
