Definitely. That has been my experience. I had a customer about 12 years ago that hired me to perform an architectural analysis (IT) and produce a report. The director that was responsible for reviewing my work product was dumb as dirt. She had an MBA from Brown and let everyone know it … constantly. She called into question some of the financial calculations in the report. So I sent her the Excel workbooks that I used in the report. Not only she didn’t understand the finance involved, she didn’t know how to use Excel.
I did more work for her after that contract and I became her go-to tutor for Excel. I laughed all the way to the bank. Over the years I have made boat loads of money from weak minded and poorly educated imbeciles. One of their best qualities is they are unable to make a decision and stick to it. That’s a goldmine in consulting. Change requests are a beautiful thing.
Ignorance leads to hesitation and others profit from it.
I’ve always suspected that one key skill taught in MBA programs was how to not be in the same room as a decision. That’s why large companies hire them; the company thinks it can afford to carry the dead weight and virtue signal at the same time.
