    I've seen several of the "modern MBA", at one of the top business schools in the US. They are money-hungry jerks running up a huge debt to develop no skills beside socializing; cheating on their exams; and shameless posturing. Then they're going to make a (very comfortable) living doing the same thing. There's nothing wrong with this sort of socializing, except that it's a little bit dishonest to create a privileged class of "pure businessman" who don't develop their connections and camaraderie through actual craft and discipline.

    It's all well and good. What does an MBA need technical skills for anyway? They'll just hire a technician to do it for them at a pittance, have the patent signed over, and coast along on easy street. The Steve Jobs-model.

    Rant done.

    And of course I belie my own cluelessness: I meant an MCSE, not an "MSCE", whatever that would be.
