This is an excellent opinion piece on the current state of the MBA program: The MBA Menace.
Congratulations! You have a sparkling new degree, highly prized in this world. You have learned a great many things about business. You have invested two years of your life, not to mention lost wages and a small fortune in tuition, in this impressive undertaking. As a result, you are fully qualified to go out and become a menace to society.
It's nice to see others out there noticing that higher level education programs are not preparing people for the real world. While not in this particular article, I see this as especially problematic with ethics.
Steve Soandso was a former manager of mine. His grasp on management was similar to that of a toadstool. Yet when he was introduced, it was always coupled with the MBA designation.
There's no other way to put it; Steve was an idiot. I blew my top with him over and over again because he couldn't even understand simple concepts like square pegs and round holes. My co-workers and I eventually went to HR to complain because we didn't want him in charge of reviews and raises.
The whole HR thing blew up in my face because HR always sides with the MBA. It must be some kind of abbreviation coalition. I learned that I was expecting too much from him, which is ironic because most humans are capable of doing great things. Does that mean that MBAs cannot? No, it just means that many MBAs are not experienced enough to handle the responsibility given to them. Three little letters is all it takes.
