QUOTES

John on why an MBA can be worth getting for veterans: "Coming out of the military, they certainly didn't teach you business. They taught you a lot of other things but not business. So great to get a primer on business, I would think."

Jack on the ideal business to run while studying for an MBA: "It doesn't have to be the big, all or nothing hairy idea like you talked about. It can be something small that just makes a little bit of money and you just keep adding on to it."

When an MBA might not make sense, says Jack: "It's not gonna be the end-all, be-all whether you do or don't do an MBA. If you're one to start a business and be entrepreneurial, [an] MBA is probably not the right track for you. Unless it's something like Clemson's MBA Entrepreneurship track."
