I truly wish (and I know some do) that MBA programs had an industry experience prerequisite.

I have 20 years IT experience. I'm a PM. I'm looking to do an MBA for knowledge, learning about more formal business understanding, etc., and to help as I advance.

The PMs I know who are similar don't get an MBA and immediately start playing fuckfuck games (to borrow from military parlance). It's those who went high school > college > MBA > managerial role, without a day's experience in the field except maybe a brief internship half way through their undergrad.
