4-year MBAs

Length of study becomes same as college. If all MBAs were 4-years, I bet most people would choose to do an undergrad degree instead of an MBA. Only those really interested in management would go through an MBA. We face a crisis that calls for transforming our economy. People will retool better if they study a new subject than do an MBA. I have in mind business and finance majors who recently lost their jobs.

Business crime lessons

Do you think it's a good idea to require all white-collar criminals (see Madoff and Jeff Skilling of Enron) to give, as part of their jail sentence lectures at business schools on corporate ethics? I assume that even if these guys haven't regretted their actions by then, seeing how a former high-paid executive who conducted fraud ended his career and how he justifies his actions years later can be a powerful lesson to students of business. Just out of curiosity, why are all white-collar corporate criminals men? Is it because the field is male dominated or is the nature of women to be honest when they run a company?

What is your opinion? Should I go for an MBA directly after my undergrad or I should have a 2-3 years working experience in the industry first?
