Notice the emphasis on the MBA. Remember, strivers gain their identity from status. To them, the MBA itself is more real than actual expertise.
They do, in theory, learn some useful things.Is a business degree even worthwhile? A lot of people start businesses without one, and a lot of people with them are just middle management that only get the job because they have a degree. It'd be better to promote the most promising from the workforce imo.

Due to the nature of large systems, I'm sure that there are some business schools out there that do teach you good things for running a business.Is a business degree even worthwhile?

That's my experience as well, especially with the company I work for right now. Old management wasn't great, but they at least knew how to run the factory. New management is either hired out of college or poached from the tech industry, of all places. These new guys have never so much as worked a summer job on the assembly line, let alone swinging wrenches or driving forklift or supervising a line. All of the missteps and poor management is demoralizing the guys who do supervise the day-to-day operations, and most of them are retirement age with no replacements in the pipeline.Due to the nature of large systems, I'm sure that there are some business schools out there that do teach you good things for running a business.
In my experience though, most business degrees make the people who have them worse bosses, not better. This is the feedback I've gotten from almost everyone else I've talked with about the subject as well.
It's part of the epidemic of valuing credentials over actual experience and proven ability, and as others have said, is also part of the college racket, putting people in debt and indoctrinating them at the same time.
That would make the newly hired bosses sympathize with the rank and file and senior management can't have that. Better to hire from the outside so the new hire won't give two shits about them and both sides will hate each other.Most companies would do better to promote from within.

Management can care less! I went though the destruction of a company((Look up the death of furniture brands and see what shenanigans went on at the end)). The ones on top get golden parachutes, everyone else got shit! Hell I didn't even get severance pay and I worked for them for 23 years.Yeah, works great!
Until the company dies, of course.
Be the Change! And save on lipstick!
Where better then the fires of War to reforge your destiny and redeem yourself in service to your country Governor Cuomo?
🤔...On the other hand, if CNN sent his bro out there as a foreign correspondent at the same time...🤔Please no with the way Cuomo is he'll pretend to be in Afghanistan and have to be air evacuated and run for president off that
