I’ve never met anyone with an MBA who wasn’t a moron.

Maybe the non-morons don't make a point of telling you they have an MBA.

Yep. I know a few people who got their workplace to pay for it. It was an incredibly easy way for them to pad their resume and ensure higher pay ranges at stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that.

Only came up when we were talking about schooling (I was still finishing mine).

Everyone that made a big deal of it though, complete morons.

Kind of like how the worst people in tech brag about their certifications

You should meet my brother then. He has an MBA and CPA and runs an accounting firm. He's pretty chill and treats his workers extremely well, while taking most of the lame work for himself.

“He must not have gone to a good school for his MBA then” - people with MBAs, probably

Lol. It's one of the better ones.

Yeah, usually, what's perceived as intelligent by most is some of the theoretical reasoning, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and analytic-logical thinking that you learn and practice in higher education. But somehow, those with business degrees never have any of those qualities. I do wonder what they're being taught instead.
