Career Advice for an Engineer (MBA or no MBA)

I'm 28 years old and I'm finishing my bachelor's degree in computer science next month. I have several years of professional experience before and during my studies. My biggest goal is to build tech companies (entrepreneurship). Now imagine you have the chance to go to one of the best business universities in Europe to get your second Bachelor in Business (BBA) in 2 years. The total tuition fee is $5000 (excluding living and opportunity costs).

I've talked to people who have completed this business bachelor's degree and then earned an Insead MBA (Top MBA in Europe). They were of the opinion that they had learnt the same content but much more practice-oriented (case studies). Since I am not interested in investment banking, consulting or a career switch but only in hard skills.

- Would you prefer the BBA or the MBA (100'000$+ Tuition)? - Or would you take a job as a software engineer and learning business by doing (Sideprojects)?
