[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the dumbest pissing contests on DCUM.  I have an MBA, let's not kid ourselves, in the grand scheme of things, it's not that hard. The hardest class most MBAs take is stats. Finance majors do more math and analysis, but it's not higher level math, nor is accounting, for gods sakes. Accounting is addition and subtraction. But, it doesn't matter, because any MBA from a top school is going to make 5-10x what you hard core STEM people are making and we only went to school for 2 years.  So really who's really smarter ?

Some degrees such as engineering and computer science practically guarantee employment after graduation. Yes, some people will struggle find work but they are far more likely to work in their field than someone with a business degree (BA or MBA). When I used to interview for software engineers, we would automatically dismiss the resumes of people with an MBA or those who were working on an MBA because those people were not interested in the actual work, they were interested into climbing into management and we didn't have any position in management for them to fill. Sure, some people will use their MBA to work up the ladder very far, but most will not. They will find their degree gives them little to no advantage in working their way up the ladder.[/quote]
