I learned operations research 2 dim cutting stock on the job back in the 90's with a binder maker. We needed to know how to cut vinyl sheets optimally based on the order. Wrote an application to do that in good old Clipper. :) I loved that job. What an education!
There is a severe lack of qualitative courses at Universities. Hell, the fact that healthcare spending is counted as part of GDP when the vast majority of the industry is corrupt deserves scrutiny.
I wonder if financial derivatives (Enron-style) are counted as GDP.
That’s what you get with the private healthcare industry
@@saulgood2366 there is no healthcare system that is fully privatized
An MBA from a top business school can be very useful towards climbing the corporate ladder at large publicly traded companies. If you want to start a business, not so much.
I listened for ten mins and this is solid. I was prepared to say something critical, but you nailed it all in the first ten mins. MBA is fine, for all the reasons you say, bu they are also way oversold. If you have an engineering degree (I do, McGill 1988), you have a business mind, and you take a few basic courses with your engineering degree (engineering economics, lets say also fin accounting, OB, OP) and then do some reading after graduation on various soft biz topics, an MBA is redundant. If you really need some extra quant course later (say in detailed finance) you can take one or two, no big deal. Today, the MBA is often a waste of time and money. And as you say, you get out what you put in.
checkbox degrees tend to have shorter time lines, higher costs and lower value
Thank you!
UIUC has the most flexible (online), most affordable ($24k), most comprehensive (72 credit hr) MBA program with newer subfields such as data analytics. The classes are full of older, technical professionals - exactly what he is talking about in terms of what/who MBA programs were meant for. That is why it’s been the fastest growing program in the world the past 8 years.
I always thought an MBA is mostly for people whose main education is in another field such as engineering, medicine or sciences. For those who have something like a commerce degree or something business focused it is a waste of time.
Groovy.
academia needs to do a clean up in social studies, it is ruining every fields.
There absolutely is a level of genetic heritage going on with many talents. My entire immediate biological family (I don't know if my bio-father is included in this) can at least carry a tune without much trouble. I got the best of it and can sing quite well, professionally even, though that's a very tough and precarious field these days, especially with the looming threat of AI being able to replicate any music and voice. Had I not been autistic, maybe I'd have been a professional singer, but only now do I have the courage and wherewithal to enter the field. Shame it's too late, as there's maybe a decade at most left before AI can replace music/singing, thereby reducing the economic viability of selling music. I don't expect real human singers/musicians to lose all value, but it will be niche and likely even more furiously competitive. I don't do well with hyper competitive environments.
Thought you said a career in the NBA.. hahahahaha (luv ya Gad !)
My work as an engineer. So, I took courses on things that helped me with my work!
I was taught that MBA equals BMW...
