Don't waste $50,000 on MBA.
Do this instead and get rich.

Here is how to gain everything for free, avoid debt and grow rich, which is better than getting an MBA.

A thread.

-Education.
Everything you'll ever learn in an MBA class is available online for free.
Search PDFs for textbooks.
Search for free lecture on specific topics. Follow Blogs written by the faculty.
Read. Learn. Summarise. Teach.
Feynman's technique to devour the content.

To illustrate- Much of what I learnt about valuation was by following Prof. Aswath Damodaran's blog, for free.
There's just too much content available for free to make an excuse.
Seek, search and you shall receive.

Exposure-
Best way to get exposure is to just start.
Start a business from the topics learnt above, with the saved tuition fees, in an area of interest.
Handle everything yourself.
Use Internet as your biggest leverage.
Be ready to fail but work like your life depends on it.

Marketing-
Best way to grow a community is to share all your knowledge, for free.
Share everything you know, all your expertise and insight with the world, for free.
This is better than any paid marketing.
People automatically value you and come to you.

Communication-
As @david_perell would say, be simple.
Don't waste time or effort in trying to sound smart.
People want to learn complex things in the simplest manner.
Be honest and write in simple language.
There's no long term gain in trying to sound sophisticated.

Building connections-
Share your knowledge constantly, in the shortest manner possible.
Be honest about your limitations and bring new things to the table.
Be original.
One look at @mkobach and you'll understand the value of doing the above consistently to build connections.

And most importantly, work hard. Seek Knowledge and experience, not elite tags.
Work super hard on things which brings you better health, newer wealth and more happiness.
As @naval would say, If you work hard enough, you'll eventually get what you deserve.
