I loved, loved, LOVED my MBA studies.

It was life changing for me since I had taken almost zero business courses in undergrad. The business philosophy courses were mind boggling. It was a new look for me into the world as was everything else in the program.

I wish my studies could have gone on forever; but sadly it came time to graduate.

By the way, if one is going for one’s MBA, it is recommended one goes out into the workforce for at least 5 years before tackling the MBA. It has to do with gathering experience to then apply that experience, or experiences, to one’s studies and bringing them to the classroom to share.

This is one of the things that made my classes so awesome. It was the personal experiences folks brought to class and shared.

My professors were top notch. (Except for the one who is doing slammer time in Florida. He was our Business “Ethics” professor. His “ethics” got him put in jail. My older brother and I can’t stop laughing every time his name comes up.)

Maybe he took advice from my old coach, “Men, we’re going to keep running that play til we get it right”.

That is the Einsteinien Approach. Trying the same thing over and over hoping for a different result. Or maybe now we could call it the Obama approach. Anyway, don't we learn ANYTHING from history? Seems not.

An good example of bringing business experience to class can be found here.

Thank you.

Totally hysterical but true.

And this is the point…. Roger Dangerfield brought into the classroom reason, smarts, and experience; but the professor couldn’t handle reality.

Brilliant indeed!!!

I loved it!!! It makes a strong point.

I will not hire an MBA holder. It is a debilitating degree now.

I was kinda hoping that MBA programs would include some practical info such as how to make out an effective business plan, higher level accounting practices, overview of how to run effective HR/Marketing/Sales, etc. departments.

Save your money.

The Ten-Day MBA.

Good book, I recommend it.

Cheers!
