I have a few friends who are in business school and the sole reason they went back (undergrad business in Stern) was to network a little bit and make connections. In terms of class and learning, they knew going in that there was not much to offer.

I'm going to business school (enrolled yesterday), and did so because I noticed that even though I'm much more qualified than some colleagues, they're getting ahead because of their connections.

And I believe it's a human fact of nature and understandable. (also, qualified doesn't mean I actually am a better fit or better worker, just that I studied more).

My reasons for going for Business school are that if I show that I'm hardworking, qualified and an acquaintance, I can shoot for the jobs above my current "glass ceiling".

If it fails or I'm so inclined, I'll go the startup/enterpreneur route :) (I'll probably try both shooting for the CTO position and enterpreneurship on the side)
