The number of MBA enrollees globally especially in the U.S. is declining for some reason or the other.

The trend right now especially for the young upstarts out of college is to delve into entrepreneurship. Here in the Philippines, AIM, Ateneo and De La Salle are also experiencing a sharp decline in MBA students.

AIM, however, observed a very sharp increase in enrollees in their entrepreneurship program.

The advice of some of the business gurus to young granduates is to "THINK OUT OF THE BOX" and delve in the realm beyond conventional wisdom. Although this path is more difficult, it is more rewarding and fulfilling in the long run. Entrepreneurship is the way to go in the future.

I agree. Although an MBA program will arm you with the technical skills needed. Whether it be in a corporate career or entreprenuerial venture. I tried putting up and running a company of my own before. But unfortunately we have to close down because we were badly hit during Erap's impeachment trial. Dollar dependent kasi kami. I'm now in the final stages of my MBA, the program made me realize what we did wrong in our company.
