Rethink the MBA: Why Business School is Riskier Than You Think

My name is Micah. I graduated with an MBA from Wharton in 2009. I originally went to business school to become an entrepreneur. It was a bad decision. I believe many people decide to get an MBA for the wrong reasons, like me. If you're thinking about getting an MBA, but don't want to work in Banking or Consulting, this book is for you. I should never have gotten an MBA. Maybe you shouldn't either. This book explains why, and has some useful advice about what you can do instead. Thanks for reading.
