"The MBAs that fit the stereotype usually identify themselves strongly with their education, and they're in the minority."

I've noticed over the years that one can find people whose self-esteem is grounded in their MBA across the entire spectrum of selectivity, from the top-5 programs to online degree mills. Regardless of where they went, it's a very good heuristic indicator that you should STAY AWAY.
