One or two succeed and tens of thousands fail. With MBA's, one or two succeed but only hundreds fail. I call that improvement. It's not guaranteed success but you've improved your situation. And failure does actually have real consequences.

This "I'm too dumb to know better, therefore I am better" idea is based on the few lucky people but ignores the huge amount of failures. Consider there may be ten thousand failures each year that you never even heard about.
