Who in there right mind would go to Wharton over Haravrd or Stanford. And Michigan or Indiana over MIT? WHo's voting in these polls? I have yet to meet anyone who would choose Wharton over Stanford or Harvard, unless its for geographic reasons (family or sig other)

SF AM,

Okay whatever. Tell those international students to stop enrolling in international schools for their MBA.

CAgentility,

The article in USA Today was taken from another source. I've read a longer version of it somewhere else. That article was very credible.

I think its time to stop the debate about the use of an MBA. No one will yield. And I don't like the idea of people using insults in a forum like this (words such as dumb and McPaper are uncalled for and not funny.)

What we should really be doing is calling for the reform of business schools. The atmospheres in the top schools as well as corporate world are just not Asian friendly.

CAgentility,

If you read the article carefully it cites a study by Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford management guru. I would suggets reading before criticizing. That's what intelligent people do.

AC Dropout,

I would suggest that even the top tier business schools have little value unless you are white.

I'm getting tired of all the articles in business periodicals regarding the worth of MBAs. I've always thought the answer was clear: MBAs are necessary for some business people and unnecessary for others.

SF AM- Intelligent and well-read people regard USA Today as McPaper- ie a joke for dumb people. Please don't cite it as a credible source.

SF AM,

Hey I don't doubt the value of real world experience.

But think about what you are saying.

If prestigous companies recruit out of prestigous Business School. Doesn't that mean you will have to obtain an MBA for an opportunity to get hired.

No one with real world experience believes a position in a company will come with $10,000 salary increase just because of a label on sheep skin. The vast majority of company follow the principle of all new hires come in at the same amount for the same positions.

The MBA is really about opportunity in the corporate world. Not salary or prestige.

I think if you want to raise the level of discussion you will have to talk about which particular teir of business school degree may not have that much added value to an individual and their respected careers.

Chinese American,

Nah, Debating is fun. I could easily switch sides on the issue.

No immediate plans to get an MBA in the future. Or any graduate degree for that matter.

Think about this way. Let's say some impressionable person comes onto this site and actually believes a MBA is worthless due to these idiot's post. Wouldn't that be a greater disservice.

Unlike AC Drop Out, I debate with facts:

From USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2002-07-21-mbas_x.htm

Some say MBAs no longer worth extra cash

By Del Jones, USA TODAY

When college graduates apply for a job at California marketing firm Panagraph, those with an MBA assume they are worth an extra $10,000 to $15,000. Panagraph CEO Mark Astone, who has an MBA, says they're not: Even those with MBAs from prestigious Stanford "get real delusional" about their capabilities.

"If you put the same effort into a job, career and getting experience, you'll be better off," he says.

AC Dropout,

If you don't have an MBA, why is it you are spending so much energy defending it's value?
Is it because you plan to get an MBA in the future?
