Yes, there's been discussion about the value of an MBA, recently.

Over time, the MBA became means to "get a promotion."

When this happens, it's like going through the motions, like cattle.

Recent studies indicate both holder and non-holders of MBAs that becamse CEOs stated that the MBA, was not a help, or that it would not have helped them do their CEO function more competently.
