That's just nonsense to say that applies to every single MBA. You are almost a parody of the anti-MBA Hacker News type that make me suspect you may even be trolling (without looking at your profile; not funny if you are).
Do you have an MBA? Do you know the motivations of every single MBA in the world?
- vladimirralev 13y agoHold on a second. I have nothing against MBAs. I also very clearly said "may" in my initial post so I am not even claiming my comments apply to every single MBA in the world. I don't see any substance in your comments, just calling me names. It's not a big leap to assume that MBA students sign up to make more money and have more power. Why don't you tell me what exactly are MBAs after?
- jval 13y agoSure, I bet you have heaps of friends who are MBAs as well, so there's no way you could possibly be biased against them. MBAs are there to make money, same as every other profession. Do you work for free? You should just apologise instead of defending yourself.
- vladimirralev 13y agoThere is nothing wrong with making money. Like I said, this is fine and everybody can understand it. Why should I apologise? I am simply arguing the MBA programs teach a certain mindset. Just like being a doctor, an engineer or an arts person are different mindsets. The difference is the guy with the MBA brings value by identifying and taking every opportunity to make money, while an engineer's focus is to build things. An MBA is typically held accountable for missing opportunities like that. And I would be really happy to read what's your take on how an MBA brings value.
