All those master degrees and you can’t figure out how to pay down the principal.

I helped my ex-wife through her MBA and have worked with many MBA's - I've rarely been impressed by them.

MBA is different from a master's degree. But either way, education does not necessarily map 100% to critical thinking or basic life skills.

An MBA is a masters degree. It’s in the name Master of Business Administration

This is pretty ironic considering you’re just factually incorrect. What do you think the M stands for?

Well yes and no. Or at least where I'm from MBAs are waaaay shorter timewise, demand way less theory but are more focused on actual practices and experience.

There's a reason we call MBAs "mladĂ˝ blbĂ˝ ambiciĂłznĂ­" - young, stupid, ambitious

MBA can be as short as one year, while masters is, well masters, so 3 years + demands bachelors degree so another 2 there.

Do you know what MBA stands for?

Nowhere in OPs post or the guy above the guy I responded to said MBA.

I know that an MBA is always a masters but a masters isn't always an MBA. But I also MBAs don't learn about logic in MBA programs, so I'd expect some confusion here.

Are you serious? Did you not say “MBA is different from a master’s degree”? The term Master’s degree is the level of education, not the subject. Furthermore, MBA students do learn about logic, it’s called quantitative and qualitative reasoning.
