Side benefits of an MBA

I read a really interesting article in the FT today. It explained that while an MBA might not help Indians in the job market it might help in the marriage stakes. Essentially a MBA is a good selling point and less common than a degree.

This got me thinking what are the unusual benefits of studying for a MBA?

• Successful author; publish a book on the experience: What they teach you at Harvard Business School.
• Another chance at the uni marriage mart. Here’s a blog entry on the rules.
• Play a new sport; anyone heard of a signing?
• Form a successful music group. (There is bound to be a story; anyone heard of it?)
