Though I spent a couple of years getting my MBA (which was a great, fun thing to do), I'm a bit wary of the whole MBA thing in general. The degree is getting a bit too rubber stamp-ish for my comfort level, as exemplified by this excerpt from a Slate article:
The Pennsylvania attorney general's office Monday sued an online university for allegedly selling bogus academic degrees -- including an MBA awarded to a cat.
Thing is, I bet the cat made some pretty good contributions to the class discussion. At least enough to get a "2". Takeaway? Assess the person, not the degree. Did they really learn anything?
