I should tell my wife who's currently working on an MBA.
But the experience from this article sounds very different from what my wife is going through. You can't do her MBA while working at a bar; you need to have a job at a significant company where you have access to financial data and other stuff. She does the assignments on her own, because she's got to do it in her spare time between job and family. I suppose her course is explicitly not aimed at regular just-after-highschool students, but at working professionals who need some extra theoretical foundation.
Whether any specific class has new information for her varies wildly. The challenge seems to be more in the right way to write a research paper than in the actual subject matter, though translating financial and bookkeeping between English (from the books) and Dutch (everywhere else) can also be a challengen.
