Not to discount the value of a MBA, but a couple years getting your ass kicked at a startup is invaluable experience (successful or not) ... especially when your job is to fund and grow companies.

Similarly for other education. (a) what is the ratio of MBAs at sub-par PE (and VC) firms, and (b) what is the ratio of MBAs among those being let go at shrinking firms. It would also be interesting to know the type of education [and professional development (industry experience)] among the most successful PE pros. Does your raw data have some clues for us?

Does your raw data have some clues for us?

I finished my MBA a few years back at a more obscure B-school and I can assure you that non of us were blinded by the debt fueled bubble that was occuring all around us. I think a lot of upcoming PE blowups could have been saved with a little less group think and a good MBA education should help not hinder that.

I thought that the percentage holding MBAs would be a lot higher, good news for a lot of people I've talked to that are concerned they won't be able to work in the industry without one.
