Amen…

I pointed out in another thread to another one of our barely out of highschool know-it-alls, when he was posting how useless business and liberal arts majors were, and that MBA’s were a waste, that most of his future bosses would be business/liberal arts majors with MBA’s. Here’s the post:



picox, that you fail to see how insulting your over-generalizations are is pretty illuminating as to your dogmatism. I am fairly sure that one day, when you mature and are having to deal with your “intellectually inferior” boss, who happens to have a liberal arts degree, business degree or MBA, your attitude might change.

If not, good luck getting promoted.

IBM Chairman - Samuel J. Palmisano - BA History; his predecessor - Louis Gerstner - MBA

Intel Chairman - Paul S. Otellini - BA Economics, MBA

Dell Corp. - current CEO - Michael Dell - college dropout at 19; former CEO- Kevin Rollins - BA humanities and civil engineering, MBA

Hewlett Packard CEO - Mark Hurd - BBA from Baylor

I could go on, but I think you get the picture.



As you so eloquently stated, social intelligence goes a long way in the business world, and bigotted, closed minded, jerks that nobody wants to be around usually get the pink slips first in a lay off.
