One the hats I wear is that of a recruiter (its business we operate here) focused on finance and biotech. I couldnt agree more: MBAs aren't that hireable right now, even in banking. In fact a good junior, with 2 years of experience, are much more placeable. As for higher degrees, if you want into banking or business, comp sci, physics, applied math, statistics are better MS degrees. I dont have an MBA, and havent pursued one thus far, but for the cost and knowing the job market, I think the article is mostly right. Good managers can teach business stuff as long as the talent is dynamic enough. Those analytical skills, though, are highly valuable in this market to smart hiring managers.
