> Am I the only person who ever found the course list for an MBA genuinely interesting? Like, intellectually so.

This comment struck a chord for me. Me (and most of my friends) are about to transition out of the military. After 5 years of literally living a different world, but still being intellectually curious but with no (obvious) technical skills...for a lot of us getting an MBA seems to be the only option to "learn the language" and transition out, so to speak. What you're expressing has been the feeling a lot of us has gotten from friends we have in San Fran or New York or wherever - that MBAs are worthless, and that former military officers are generally risk averse and therefore not good hires in fast moving companies (I don't believe this to be the case at all, btw, but I'm obviously biased). What I'm suggesting is that getting an MBA might have more utility for certain groups of people, and less so for others. Perhaps I'm relying too much on the anecdotal evidence of my circle of friends.
