I'll agree to disagree. I don't believe engineering is any more easily learned from a book than business is. Different skills, for sure. But you won't find the hard part of either in a book. That doesn't make formal study of either subject "worthless".

I didn't say it was more easily learned. What I said was that what you learn in engineering you can apply in one to one relationship and it will work.

When you deal with business you deal with humans not immaterial matter.

That's thee difference here. And for that no amount of education is going to make you more successful. Again feel free to prove me wrong.
