9/10    Re: MBA thread below.  I wanted to get an MBA a couple of years back.
        I got all the applications and even visited a couple of schools.  Then
        I started reading books by successful businessman like Sam Walton,
        Michael Dell, Andy Grove, etc.  *NONE* of these men have MBAs.  But
        they're still very sucessful.  That's when I had an epiphany:
        Entreprenurial capitalism cannot be taught.  It is the fire in the
        belly that's either there or isn't there.  Getting an MBA will help
        you get a high paying job. But if you want to do something greater
        like actually CREATE jobs for MBAs, you need to look deep inside and
        see if you have the passion to sell. -self employed sodan
        \_ You're right.  Also, Bill Gates doesn't have any college degree.  I
           inadverdently started this religious war a while ago--my conclusion
           is that, like all non-vocational schools (does med school count?)
           it's not meant to teach you how to how to do a particular job, but
           rather ought to give you some tools and resources to make your task
           easier.  The contacts one makes probably aren't bad either.
           However, a lot of people on soda seem to have some religious
           zealotry about any scholastic learning being evil--whatever.
           Just inform yourself and do what's right for you.  -John
