In fact... I would rather invest the $100-$160k+ from an MBA in bootstrapping a good internet idea.

Get that to finding and you'll get a $2-3mm+ valuation, you've created more value than a job will ever create, you are in control etc... But that's just me.

Sorry but those are a lot of assumptions your making there in the chain of events.

Of course, but don't all entrepreneurs make insanely illogical assumptions when they start something?

Of course. And 90% of entrepreneurs fail.

Quite a bit of underestimating what it takes to run a business flying around here. Few people who actually run a business will describe the process as easy, mostly because the challenges are endless, beyond "learning to code". But don't confuse "getting an MBA" with running a business.

Not really, I've done it before from bedroom to acquisition. I never said it was easy.
