The worst of these is the MBA - I have never seen anything more generally useless and pathetic than an MBA when it comes to relating to real business conditions. Too much theory, too little practice.< P> This MBA agrees with you, although it did allow me to triple my salary post graduation (although my debts outstanding also increased substantially thanks to student loans).

LOL, reminds me of Back To School when Rodney Dangerfield is attending the business class, where the professor is talking about the economics of building a factory, and Rodney ridicules him:

Professor:

You'll see the final bottom line requires the factoring in of not just the material and construction costs but also the architects' fees and the cost of land servicing.

Melon:

Oh, you left out a bunch of stuff.

Professor:

Oh, really? Like what, for instance?

Melon:

First of all, you have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. Then there's the kickbacks to the carpenters. And if you plan on using any cement in this building I'm sure the Teamsters would like to have a little chat with you, and that'll cost you. Don't forget a little something for the building inspectors. There's the long-term costs, such as waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business but I assure you it's not the Boy Scouts.
