Great read! I had 2 questions from reading the article:

1. Something I've personally experienced with soft skills is "use it or lose it" where I feel like I'd improve in something but then feel that quickly drop off unless I continue practicing it. Negotiations is 1 such example - I took a class in school and learned what I had considered to be some pretty valuable things, but now I can't really recall most of it. Curious to here if you've experienced a similar drop-off with the soft skills you talked about above, and/or how do you manage to stay sharp or combat this atrophy (taking good notes, practicing constantly (?) etc.)

2. (This might be a whole article by itself, but) are there any instances where it might be better not to pursue an MBA then? The reasons that you described all seemed like compelling reasons for why an MBA would be a good idea.
