Scott Adams has made a fortune for decades documenting this development. I've never seen an MBA who comprehended or laughed or groaned with Dilbert.

The skills necessary to engineer and build effectively usually require a certain patience and humble appreciation. Unfortunately, this allows clueless MBAs and psychotics to run business in self destructive methods.

With a B.S. in Computer Science, a few years of professional programming experience, and a decade of "playing" with programming, I went and got my MBA with the hope that I would "advance" in my career.

What I got was a very frustrating look into the attempt at logic used as the foundation for the stupid decisions that business people make. People who major in business (with exceptions of course) are focused on making money today at any cost. There is no concern for business longevity or taking care of employees. They actually teach short-term gains over long-term growth, tax evasion, and employees as replaceable cogs.

I'm happy for having the degree because like so many other experiences in life, I learned more of "what not to do." And FWIW, the school is top 100 for MBA.

Top 100? I didn't know there were 100 MBA programs in the entire world.
