My goal ultimately is to own a business, perhaps start one. I'm not necessarily hyper focused on doing a tech unicorn startup, and am interested in potentially small businesses, maybe boring ones, etc.

I've come to realize I don't know jack when it comes to...finances or business or funding or anything at all.

Is taking a few years to become business savvy worth it? It'd be nice to have a top MBA (if I can get in) on my resume I imagine, but I know that I can probably learn all of this stuff online too. I'm the kind of learner that would really love structure and some kind of curriculum with tests/quizzes to follow.

Does something like this exist outside of trad MBA programs? Should I even look at MBAs?

That said, recently I have some strange discomfort inside when, for example, watching a movie in the evening. It feels wrong to spend time this way when there are so many things I still don't know or understand in computer science, software engineering and related fields.

Even though I do enjoy reading technical books and learning new things, it feels stressful at time when you would like to do something else, but it feels stressful and, well, "wrong".

Probably, someone has experienced the same and can share their take on that.
