[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a great move by companies as it will allow more access to professional jobs. 
I don't think it will dramatically shift the US culture of valuing a college degree anytime soon. In a million ways, college experiences create an advantage for those who attend over those who don't. Think about the hs kids who went away to college, vs those who only attended community college or who never went. Put them both in a boardroom. Who wins? [/quote]

My kid has a welder/CNC-fabricator. Put him in a machine shop with a Wharton School MBA, have both build automated package handling systems for an Amazon distribution center.

Who wins? [/quote]

The Wharton grad who consults about process and walks away with 50x whatever the CNC operator can get away with charging [/quote]

Business school in no way qualifies anyone to “consult about process.”  It teaches know-nothing 20 something’s to pull “models” out of their @sses which have nothing to do with the real world and which are of zero help in predicting anything or making informed decisions.

Getting an MBA from a top program was a hoop I had to jump through for the job I wanted, but nothing I learned has served me in any way shape or form in the 30 years since getting it. [/quote]
