Entrprenuer and MBA - What matters in the end

Recently went through a post at BNET : Why an MBA Is a Waste of Time and Money
Two fairly important points discussed:

* Most important skill for an entrepreneur is that you know your weakness and you can find people to fill in your gaps
* Top ten business schools will not accept you unless you have a clear plan for what you will do with the degree after you graduate. You need to show that you have a propensity for some sort of business and that you need the degree to get where you want in that business. Unfortunately, most other schools will take you if you don’t have a plan even though it’s been shown that people who go to business school with no plan for their career graduate with no plan for their career. And then you look not just lost, but desperate.


Also what matters is that whatever path one chooses - it should add to the personality and character. At the end one's personality or character should improve.
