[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6169578, member: 8835"] I don't know if an MBA is needed to do your own business. I had a chunk of the MBA classes for my degree, due to overlap. I don't recall a specific class that taught how to do the breakdown. It's more like taking business classes informed me of the kinds of things a business has to worry about that somebody getting a pure computer science degree might not consider. From there, when my company had a real need to determine our costs of doing business versus what to charge our own clients, I figured out how to calculate that. Being familiar with amortization concepts and accounting helped with that. I think anybody reasonably smart person can figure it out if they stop and consider the problem at hand. That's the same diligence that has to be applied to the whole "running a business" idea when somebody says "wouldn't it be cool if we ran a game shop!" [/QUOTE]
