Interesting you say that. Got my MBA. Went back to my hometown and went into management in the cotton mills. WEnt to see a particular plant manager 3 times. Back then you could show up, fill out an app, leave your resume, and go back and pester the crap out of them. (1990). His exact words were HE DIDN'T HIRE ME BECAUSE I have an MBA, he hired me because HAVING my MBA demonstrated to him I knew how to work for something, and I came back and sat in the hallway to wait on him 3 times proved to him I would be persistent and that's all he need to know from me.I'll bet that more are doing something other than what their degree was though. In the vast majority of college degrees, all it means is that you are trainable.
Change my mind
Also had a guy interview me at a Milliken plant that told me "what, you think you're better than me or smarter than me cause you got an MBA." That was less than 2 minutes in.
Guess I ended up picking the right plant manager to pester.
