Unfortunately the elites who run the education industry look down at people who work the hands and their minds.

And that is a shame, but what can you expect from educated idiots, which these elites are?

When I was growing up, a worthless degree was only so you could get into a management training program. Today the same worthless degree is only used so you can fill one of the squares on a job application. “College Degree? Yes”.

My field is Operations & Projct Management. People in my field parade around their MBA’s and that’s what companies want in their PM’s. When I interviewed for my current job I was asked why I should get the job and not someone else. I said because with the MBA all you are going to get are the pretty reports that management wants to see and a delayed project. With me you will get a project completed on time and on budget.

The manager interviewing me said that was a little rude. So I told him, “83% of projects fail for whatever reason. Notice how many PM’s are MBA’s? If you want someone to get a project done, always hire experience over education. Especially one who has the same PMP credential.” I was asked to wait outside for 5 minutes. When I came back in they offered me the job on the spot.

Just finished my first government project for the company. We came in on the day we said we would at the cost we said we would. Side note: I barely graduated high school and have over 20 years in as a PM.
