There's no truth in internet voting. I suppose that means you believe all the polls on MSNBC or something like that.

I also find it funny that you want to voice such a negative opinion of a group of people and not expect it to be picked apart from the obvious flaws in logic.

What's important about the experience is being able to put the information you're receiving in context and understanding how great the opportunity is to build long-lasting relationships with a group of people that will have a high percentage of successful members.

Getting an MBA is not just about the mechanical absorption of how to do a free cash flow or doing a paper on organizational behavior.

Frankly, more insight and knowledge was gained from classmates than from the textbooks and case studies we had.

"top-heavy business-grad management tend to be crappier companies as opposed to companies with a balance between business and technology"

I'm challenging the basis of your analysis, which uses a flawed example (look at Wall Street!) and seemingly anecdotal evidence to come to your conclusion.

I'm clearly not changing your argument. I'm challenging your analysis.

There are so many generalizations here I wouldn't know where to start. I know plenty of folks that don't have MBAs that "smell the money" and "ruin good companies."

Also, might help to understand that MBAs come in all shapes and sizes. It's like saying you have an EE degree. Is that computer architecture? digital or analog communications? solid state?

Not all engineers are the same, so why do you seem to put all MBAs in the same bucket?

At 23, how much work experience did you have? Going into an MBA without adequate work (and life) experience is indeed a waste.
