Too many MBAs ruining companies?

Thoughts on this? I myself did my MBA from a T-1 school and found it value enriching experience that allowed me to crack my role at Uber.

What do you think?

There is no degree that shapes you holistically into a much better person.

Shaping the person is the agenda, I would recommend cycling.

Too Many MBAs ruining manufacturing companies, which there are not enough of in India. The problem Elon mentioned is with USA, India doesn't have enough QUALITY MBAs (part time from Amity doesn't count lol)

Don't know about west. But in our country there are two kinds of people who do an MBA

  1. People who don't like their existing job.
  2. People who don't have a job.

@Qwerty2398 this is not entirely true. Some people actually want a business education. I dreamt of it since childhood and was ever so excited when I got it.

Finally, it also gave me a good job and a career

"It's got you a good job and career"... My point 1

lol, MBAs know how to extrapolate the cost of everything but they don’t know the value of anything. Value comes from building or selling , not “managing”. What MBA teaches you is a bunch of basic courses and how corporate works, that falls flat on its face when they are asked to show results(aka value) . Moreover, courses complicate simple things to justify the cost of such a course. This simple idea of complicating simple things is what leads to actual value builders calling MBAs out. The list is endless- Jobs, Musk, Larry, Sergey, Zuck
