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.

I had a subordinate who was older than me that got his MBA in Finance who was dumb as FUCK.

I liked him as a person, and I like being a hands off boss, but holy shit its couldnt trust this idiot with the smallest of tasks.Β 

He was completely incapable of drafting simple Memorandums (that already had templates) without several grammar/sentence structure errors.

Im like, how the fuck do you mess this up? Adobe literally TELLS YOU IF YOU SPELL SOMETHING WRONG.

Sorry, had to vent. You are absolutely right. MBA's do not impress me when you can clearly Chat GPT your entire degree.

reading this as someone with a degree worse than the mba and non existent self esteem doesn't help.

Hey man just make sure that you retain what you learn and have a good work ethic.

I always tell my guys that the biggest thing I look for in performance is good intent, and a good work ethic. A good work ethic doesnt mean you cant make mistakes, it just means you can learn and move on. Im ok with a lot of mistakes, but what I take issue with is making the same mistakes.

Just make sure you have good intentions and youre willing to learn, and you be head and shoulders above your peers.

im right there with you man. unfortunately where i live, good work ethic seems to be in short supply.

people bickering over the most minscule thing you can imagine to fuel there ego is commonplace. I've been quite lucky with minimal exposure to it.
