We hired a Harvard MBA as CFO in our early days in one of our larger startups. In later years, "Harvard MBA" became a curse word around there. This guy is the only one of us who came out of that company with cash.
A lot of things have been said about "featherbedding" in blue-collar union jobs. Do people think the same thing never happens at the white collar level? Particularly people who have "learned" about business from "those who can't do, teach" professors?
How many great new businesses were founded by college dropouts? How many by MBAs? It's anecdotal on my part to be sure, but I seem to see a lot more of the latter coming in after the business is successful, like the animals wanting a nice slice of Henny Penny's bread.
Two words. John Sculley.
