I was always told that the MBA is about the network. Someone in your cohort has a friend who gets you your next job. And there is also some diversity in the class since everyone worked for a few years prior to taking an MBA.

The network effect is very important. It allows you to grow and to attract smart ambitious people to your own adventure.

Oddly enough, I know many people who privately admit this is the main reason they go to church: networking.

Reminds me of Ted Wassanasong from King of the Hill. There's an episode when Khan asks him why he doesn't see him at the Buddhist temple any more and he replies, "We're Episcopalian now. It's just good business."
