The MBA Experience Is Worse When Everyone Is Too Young

I think MBA programs (especially in the US) are getting too young.

When the average age is 27/28, many students are smart and ambitious, but they often lack real professional and life experience. The best MBA discussions usually come from people who have spent 10+ years in an industry, managed crises, led teams, and actually lived through corporate reality.

Sometimes MBA programs feel more like an extension of college recruiting culture than a place for experienced professionals.

Honestly, I think MBA cohorts with an average age around 33/34 would create better discussions, stronger peer learning, and more mature networking.

Curious what others think.
