I don't think anyone would argue that you don't need business people, e.g. the type of people who tend to get MBAs. But are the degrees themselves necessary? I'm not sure. (Although the OP is obviously a one-sided advert for his own content.) I don't think MBA programs encourage immorality, and I'm surprised at the 56% figure he quotes, but they nurture extreme arrogance of a sort that leads to all kinds of unethical behaviors.

> But are the degrees themselves necessary? I'm not sure. Good point, probably no more than a CS degree is necessary for somebody to be a good developer. If somebody likes businessy kinds of things as their hobby, in the way a developer codes for fun, than they could probably do a good job just the same. I think the MBA has the same effect as a CS degree, it formalizes and focuses the person on what they should know as a foundation to what they practically need to learn.
