www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2081930,00.html That's what Bob Lutz is saying. My opposition to MBAs are a little more nuanced. Don't give MBAs to anyone who has not worked in a real engineering, manufacturing or production job for ten years. Too many people getting MBAs at 23 and not having had to work in a real work environment. They live in a dream world and don't know what it takes to build something or to meet the customer's expectations.

Uh - his bio says he got his MBA soon after his BS - both from Cal. However - he did serve in the Marines before that.

From, "Up The Organization" by Robert Townsend: Don't hire Harvard Business School graduates. This worthy enterprise confesses that it trains its students for only three posts-executive vice-president, president, and board chairman. .... By design, the"B-School" trains a senior officer class, the non-playing Captains of Industry. People who, upon graduation, are given a whirlwind tour of their chosen company and then an office and a secrectary and some work to do while they wait for one of the top three slots to open up. This elite, in my opinion, is missing some pretty fundamental requirements for success: humility, respect for people on the firing line; deep understanding of the nature of the business and the kind of people who can enjoy themselves making it prosper; respect from way down the line; a demonstrated record of guts, industry, ....judgement, fairness and honesty......
