"can't justify an MBA for reasons other than the credential or networking"

I suspect those two reasons constitute a sizable portion -- maybe even a majority -- of a typical MBA's value proposition. At the elite schools, the networking component alone might justify the costs.

At the top 6-8 schools in the US, networking plus the placement office justified the bill. But if you’re an @$$hole then the networking won’t help.
