I don't know what life is like for MBAs.
Based on my observations of friends and family, MDs and RNs usually have bad management because they hire RNs or MDs to be the management and they're not trained for it. My friends who are MDs who are not getting benefits aren't independent contractors; they are partners. They have an equity stake in their group practices. (Law firms are starting to make people responsible for their own benefits and employment taxes AND not making them partners.) Some firms are trying to move RNs to an independent contractor status with no benefits, but they have enormous turn-over rates. Nurses don't have to put up with that, and most won't.
IT doesn't seem like its gone the independent contractor route at all. At least not around here.
