I think an āEA MBAā would be a great thing for someone to run, actually. I think EA probably has an advantage in running this kind of stuff: people used to measuring and monitoring their impact donāt fall down the hole of what Iāll call ābusiness training bullshitā as much.
I just think the EAs receiving such training should pay for the full cost themselves, because (assuming itās good) youād very quickly become overwhelmed with applications from people who want great-value professional development and have no desire to actually do EA things at the end of it. And you donāt want EA money to be subsidising such people.
Maybe you could have a separate bursary scheme for bona-fide EAs.
(to be clear I think that providing good-value professional development services to altruistically-inclined young adults is a good use of āEA worker timeā, just not of āEA moneyā)
