"MBA's are scum!!! Anti-MBA's unite!!!"

"And in conclusion, engineers with MBA’s are worth LESS than those without the degree. You see, graduates of MBA programs actually LOSE intelligence, knowledge, and skills through this process of 'business education’. Conversely, the value of engineering degrees should never be questioned, even when inferior/unnecessary technology is perpetually unleashed on the marketplace. ”

“Yes, those unwitting pawns that seek to educate themselves on subjects relevant to their lives and careers are actually doing themselves harm. Ignorance is bliss and worth more in the marketplace”.

The only thing that is still humorous about this stale joke is that business magazines continue to alienate their core audiences of MBA recipients.

Another thing amusing about this post is the comparison of publishing-centric websites to high-tech startups. For typical content sites, a large engineering staff is a sign of inefficiency and bloat. Small, generalist technical staffs that use tools and services from the marketplace would indicate a more efficient operation and better valuation.
