A long while ago, I was considering taking an MBA, until I talked to my friend’s dad of Iranian ancestry.
I did not bring it up, in the middle of an unrelated conversation he just dropped that he was disappointed that his kid(bordering 40s) was not a PhD, and how MBAs are ruining the world.
Every single people of Persian ancestry I met in my life takes education very seriously, maybe not so much the younger ones as they only aim for a master’s degree and hurt their parents feelings. :P
Business degree is worse than nothing imo. All the debt, all the indoctrination, very little exposure to anything potentially educational or enlightening. Come out of a program like that as a certified yes-man with bills to pay, the shame it brings to your family is just the tip of the iceberg
I took a few MBA graduate level courses because a job was paying for them. The professors really didn’t like it when you trash the entire premise they are trying to teach.
Now the economics professor was fun. He had a better understanding of statistics and the inherent data integrity issues, biases, and heavy reliance on correlation that plagues the field.
