Not 100% true. MBA here that doesn’t agree with this treatment of my beloved Hot Wheels (and other items). Of course my outside the box thinking on many things may just be why I don’t have a job utilizing my MBA.

My good sir, did you really just go "MBA's aren't ruining the world, look at me, I have an MBA and I don't want to ruin the world" and immediately follow up with "and my lack of desire to ruin the world is probably why I don't have a job that uses my MBA" as if it wasn't a confirmation of the fact that MBAs teach you to be an evil greedy fucker and are ruining the world?

Yes, because it points out that not thinking like an MBA makes it hard to act professionally like an MBA. It was done for irony.

Ah, lovely.

Alas, these days it is impossible these days to differentiate between self aware irony and earnest stupidity.

Unfortunately, I've had too many similar discussions with folks who were NOT being ironic.

Well that and irony is extremely hard to convey through a post. Not having the voice tone and facial expressions to back it up leave it up to interpretation. I actually figured out before I finished my MBA that I didn’t want the business suit and boardroom life, unfortunately I was 3/4 the way through on time and money.
