Oh I see, you have no facts just ideas that might be facts? Cut me a break here. There is no kissing up. Go look on company websites and see where they recruit from. You don't wave your MBA. And yes if Joe Blow and Harvard U Boy compete, Harvard boys wins. Why wouldn't he??? He sacrificed more to get in, was in a better program, has a fancier degree so why wouldn't he the majority of the time?? I've never heard anyone say top schools are worthless. That is a ridiculous statement to make. What proves it has worth? Average income afterwards? Alumni connections? Renowned teachers?? Perhaps the fact that you climb the corporate ladder faster than someone with a no-name degree? Because tell me what it is that Podunk U has over other schools since that'd be great to know.
And the whole rich comment made no sense. You have to pay. Either that money comes from your work sponsoring you, you've made the money prior to entering, or you took out loans. Are any of those bad at all? And yes some people might have generous parents who pay for all that even when their adults but the majority don't. Is debt bad? Is it debt or an investment? Actually since your salary shoots up from a top 10 school you can make back that money. Heck I loved my school loans...I put that amount of money into aggressive biotech funds and I'm earning a decent amount so far.
You're not addressing what I say. But if you'd like turn your eye from the truth, settle for a no-name place, and waste money. But while you're wasting money can I have some too?

I said that girls GENERALLY get their MBA for a different reason than guys do, i.e. guys use the MBA as a networking tool, used for name-dropping, etc. Most girls get their MBA to have an advanced degree. Here is a link to an article addressing this. http://www.careerjournal.com/special...-cjwomen1.html
What I disagree with is you saying not to bother getting an MBA from a school that isn't top-10 and you implying that a distance learning MBA is worthless. That is an ignorant thought process. And yes you are kissing up to people by saying, oh I went to such and such school, do this for me or give me this job. That's EXACTLY what that is.
Waving a degree from Harvard or Stanford in front of my face doesn't impress me one bit. Oh, so you were rich enough to afford to go there? Or you are now so deep in debt that you are going to have to work longer than I am to pay it off? Good for you. If a person from Harvard and a person from Joe Blow University walked in for the same interview, there is no guarantee that the Harvard grad is going to get the job.
