While the post is interesting its nothing earth-shattering. Anyone who has ever attended a prestigious school knows these facts so well that he/she won't bother to repeat it. It has become a fashion to bash MBA and other professional degrees.
The point to note is people bash after they get their degrees and not before.

What I cannot understand is how someone believe in point 8? If you want to be an enterprenuer, you need to try doing biz, not to read about it. 60-70% of graduates end up in MC or Finance, so that tells you about the mindset and governing disciplines in the school.

I am a recent MBA grad who was an entrepreneur prior to business school and who launched a new business while in b-school. I'm a big believer that there is no better place to start a new business than in business school (even considering the debt and opportunity cost).

Agree with #7, getting people to buy-in with the idea, strategy, or execution is the most important whether in the corporate world or in starting up a business.
