I met two lovely young 20-somethings in a dining group I belong to. Both ready to get their MBAs. Didn’t have the heart to tell them that their degrees were close to worthless.
did you get their digits?
Our son has a bachelor's in info systems, is about to earn his MBA and has a great job, now and will get a raise and continue in that job when he completes this degree. Of his graduating class of MBAs, most are already employed, or have jobs lined up (and unemployment in our area is around 12 percent in our area.)
That is not true. MBA programs are still placing the majority of their students.
Its a wakeup call for liberal arts students. They are unemployable.
Hard science? That is bull. Our better universities are producing excellent students. Perhaps Ohio State University isn’t, it that twit’s opinion, ...
BUT the real problem with US students is their lack of work ethic. They are, for the most part, lazy and think they are entitled to employment and not having to work.
Obama is making it worse. Its ALL about entitlements and being lazy. Now he wants all these losers who can’t get into college now to get financial aid to jam our universities with even more stupid and lazy students.
Would Obama have actually gotten into Columbia, Harvard (or even Occidental) on his own merits? Probably not.
They are fortunate that people doing the hiring and firing don't hold your view.
They would have be better off having a technical undergrad degree with an MBA.

I have both a Master’s degree in Management and an MBA, am gainfully employed and received a great raise when I completed the MBA.
I had the same idea-ish to go into economics or political science, but I'm so glad I chose metallurgy. I talked with someone a few weeks ago that graduated last May in Econ. and he is a cook at a restaurant.
The metallurgy shortage is severe, as most of those in our field are nearing retirement in the next 5 years; this makes my life easier in a recession...
