I don't have a business background and I think it will help me out since most programs cover many areas of running a business.

You don't need an MBA to start a business. Unless you want to do all the managing or something, it's easier to hire someone to manage the small intricate details of a business while you focus on the bigger vision because at the end of the day it is yours.

Also whatever you can get from college, you can learn online for free.

MBAs outside ivy leagues are useless and certainly not needed to start a business.

Our education system is a bit different from the US. A graduate from one of the lowest ranked universities in Canada will still find a job unlike the US.

Kinda the same in canada tho depends where your getting it from schulich, rotman, telfer, ivey, degroote?

Take the MBA, seems like you're not a fan of money

Would be better to invest the money into your "small business"

If you want to start a small lifestyle business you might not need an MBA but you definitely need to get educated.

If you plan to scale your business a high level education in finance, mergers & acquisitions and management is a must.

You can't just hire people to shore up your weaknesses since they'll end up being your Achilles heel.

Learn what they do and then hire them in order to ensure you have full control over the company's destiny.

It's all politics and the more knowledgeable you are the more leverage you're able to put into play.

Entrepreneurship is ridiculously difficult so please ignore civilians telling you that education is a waste of money or that's it's easy.
