“The reason I got my M.B.A. was to beat the rest of the competition while looking for work”

Except every project manager wannabee out there is an MBA/PMP with ZERO experience in the actual field, such as engineering or manufacturing, and every MBA thinks that MBA “sets them apart”. Kind of like when all those kids get piercings and tats, thinking “I’m unique”, well, unique just like all those other kids with piercings and tats. Recruiters can find 100 MBAs for project managers but are having a very difficult time finding those with actual experience. “Manager” is not a career field, it is a title.

First of all, this has nothing to do with the original post. Second of all, less than 10% of the population has an M.B.A., so to some degree they are unique. Sounds to me like to have a bit of envy working there. Either way, your first statement was incorrect, at best.

And lastly, again, the lack of experience that you cite does not apply to me, so I cannot speak to it. Either way, it is not only M.B.A’s who are the problem in the business world. No matter how much you would like to think otherwise.
