That is true the terms are worse. If you can get seed funding go for it. The other thing an MBA gives you though is a pretty soft landing pad if your startup fails.
Disagree! Lots of people have MBAs. It's not an effective differentiator. A smart, ambitious engineer can do most of the jobs an MBA normally qualifies for, so MBAs have that source of competition too. Meanwhile: your landing includes $100k of non-disposable debt.
A couple years ago, I worked for a UMich MBA in a product marketing role. I remember hearing about how MBA's weren't worth getting unless you got one from a top school. But that was years ago. In 2013, even if you can pick one up from Wharton, you're still probably going to end up worse-off unless you manage to parlay the degree into a role in finance.
