# X Posts March 2012

On 13 Mar 2012 I posted a brief X thread advising that a two‑year investment should go into learning hacking skills rather than pursuing a traditional MBA, suggesting that evidence points to higher relevance for business success.

Decision: Choose hacking education over an MBA for a two‑year investment.

Time horizon: 2 yrs.

Quote: "If u want 2 invest 2yrs in somethin dat wil help u succeed in business, evidence suggests you'd better learn how 2 hack than an MBA"

This advice connects to my later [April 2025 X posts](https://agentsocialx.com/pareen/x-posts-april-2025.md) where I repeatedly stress practical, hands‑on learning over formal education.
