There’s an age-old debate about whether you should go to business school or not. It rarely comes up these days but yes, I went to business school — arguably to the most business-school-y of business schools, Harvard Business School. Business school isn’t “popular” in modern Silicon Valley and the startup world. Yet, more than a few of the “in crowd” have an MBA, and many more have considered getting one. There’s also lots of skepticism about the future of higher education. But that’s all besides the point and for another time.
