That said let’s also remember two important facts here. People are getting MBAs and masters in general because they see it as the only way to keep their salaries in line with inflation and increasing cost of living. The other is that because companies are failing to train their people these days, people are going outside to get management training when they should be getting it inside.

So I think that we have to understand on both sides that staying competitive requires movement on both sides. Companies needs to start reinvesting in their staff and employees need to learn what it means to be truly competitive, and it’s not just adding some letters after your name.

Wow, maybe I learned something in my MBA program after all!

Are you disputing anything here? This is good advice, constructive at that. MBA Schools turn out candidates for Fortune 50 companies and nothing else at this point. People looking to get a step up shouldn’t always look to an MBA as the answer, especially for anything outside of those huge companies.

That seems pretty knowledgeable to me, especially in light of these recent studies.

With the exception of yourself, nobody has ever cited me as an expert. You’re right, I just have a blog. But to say I am not positive is straight bullocks. Look at my last ten posts. Very little unwarranted negativity.

We’re all self-absorbed and unloyal, we’re “job hoppers,” we’re getting degrees but still are stupid, etc., etc. Nothing but negativity.

It’s a shame because I think we could all use some good, constructive, and knowledgeable advice about advancing our careers.

Instead you choose to take shots at people for trying to better themselves and their lives the best way they know how.

Tell me this…if you know so much better about the keys to success in life, why haven’t I seen you on Oprah? NY Times? Or even a trade mag or two?

News flash: Just because you have a blog doesn’t make you an expert. Stop frontin…
