1. Don't insult MBAs.
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 05:07 PM by YOY
Some of us can actually balance budgets the right way and look to long term mutual profitability instead of short term individual gain.

It's always the legacy blue blood "career on a silver platter" asshats you have to watch out for. They know not the pangs of hunger nor the sting of sweat from physical labor.

4. Sorry, YOY, but...
Presently, the stock of MBA's ain't lookin' too healthy, if you know what I mean.

7. Who do you think runs the business?
Good Ol' Boys or the guy who knows the business but can't get a let up?

Who do you think inherits the kingdom?

The Good Ol' Boys' sycophants and kids or the kid who points out that the emporor has no clothes?

Those current MBAs in charge of Wallstreet are a bunch of overhyped hacks. Where they are in 10 years will be interesting. Still employed or living off of their golden parachutes.

11. True that
Even so, Bush almost makes me feel embarrassed that I have an MBA. He's a stain on all of us who actually apply sound financial management theory to the entities that we work for or run.

12. Thank you.
It's like looking at all geneticists like they think like Dr. Mengele. You'll get it a lot around here.

Of course who do people come running to when they need someone to explain the time value of money or to make a SWAT analysis of a proposition...well not to us but it's because most DUers get us confused with the bigwigs.

Gimme project/program management any day...mix in some real fieldwork and I'm a happy camper.

9. Hey, Shrub promised
to run the nation like a business when he was running. He kept his promise. He ran it just like all his businesses. Right into the ground. Unfortunately, even his Saudi friends can't help him out of this one.

10. "It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it." George W Bush - Reuters - May 5, 2000
At least he knows a budget when he sees one, although he may have to remove his shoes.
