<p>I stumbled upon this, while searching for something on the net. The 5 most prestigious degrees a person can have. Do any of you guys agree with this list. For instance, an MD from John Hopkins is highly regarded. But an MBA from Wharton is more prestigious than on from Harvard imo. </p>
<p>Also, why is this limited to MD, MBA, or JD? Um, what about Music (Juilliard), for example? What about other fields?? MFAs? Other professional degrees like engineering, architecture, etc.? PhD programs??</p>
<p>A young man from our community has just received an MBA from Harvard.
His dad came to the US from Mexico, was a runner at our little known state college. A very hard working guy, opened his first mexican restaurant a good 20 years ago. It is now a small chain, albeit in our area only.
Just had a talk with DH the other night about it. Wonder if the young man will stay and help run the family business or will be doing something totally different. Great family!</p>
<p>Any MD, or a PhD in a science, has a more rigorous academic challenge than an MBA. This opinion is from observing MBA students at a top program who have time to frequent bars nightly, travel every weekend, and study very little (far less than the undergraduate population).</p>
<p>The title of this link says it all…ask - ahem - MEN…dot com. If they asked WOMEN, they would get a different take on the suitability of the question in the first place!</p>
