Apple's marketing has obviously worked better on me than I thought. I instantly translated MBA to Mac Book Air! I don't even own any Apple devices!

I've read some of the article and some of the comments, I still don't know what an MBA is. It's really horrible practice that a writer uses an acronym throughout an article about an acronym when the first instance of it isn't spelled out to the reader.
That's just MOO.

That is a clear display how the "degree" MBA lost it's original value.
Now it is a simple check on the HR list.

To be fair that's been true of Bachelor's too, for a long time. Now more than ever the actual school you went to is more important (note went to, not even graduated from, an Oxford drop-out still has more cachet than a Hatfield graduate).
