We have an entrepreneur focused MBA school here in Austin called Acton MBA (http://www.actonmba.org/). I almost went there, but decided to go to the University of Texas for my MBA instead. I learned entrepreneurship from several killer professors: Rob Adams and John Doggett. I am an entrepreneur and always will be, and I learned a tremendous amount from my MBA. It wasn't anywhere near worthless. In fact, I think it was the opposite. I feel that I can do any job in the realm of business or technology in big or small companies. Just like an undergrad degree, an MBA provides options. If you know you want to be a programmer and have the discipline to read all the programming books on your own, then you don't need that undergrad CS degree. Same with MBA.
