Why an MBA is the most worthless degree you can waste your money on!

My good friend Marino Gallo from New York forwarded this from today’s AdAge.

”A Master of Business Administration degree is not only worthless, it can work against a marketer, according to a survey of marketing executives from 32 consumer-products companies by consulting firm Ken Coogan & Partners.
The study found that marketing executives from underperforming companies
were twice as likely to have been recruited out of M.B.A. programs than
marketing executives from out-performing companies.”

Why are Marino, myself and just about anyone else who’s ever worked in the creative department of a BDA not surprised by this fact? Probably because it’s a fact! techbuzzwords.jpg

So, what do you call 1000 MBAs at the bottom of the ocean?
