#1552, "RE: Cheater MBA"
|
I want to have the title "MBA," but I don't give a rats ass about getting the education.
I'm never going to apply for a job, I'm never going to use it for anything other than to be "Stunna, MBA."
It just looks good in the consulting biz, and it needs to be legit incase I ever get sued for false advertising.
I don't care if it comes from the University of BFE Mexico, I just want to trade cash for a masters.
The two highlighted phrases are at odds with one another. There are certainly less reputable places where you can trade both cash and time for an MBA, but you're going to have to show up some of the time, turn in (easy) assignments, put in 1.5-2+ years, etc.
Even in consulting, when you add letters after your name, you're eventually going to be asked "From where?", even if it's just an attempt to open conversation. Answering "BFE" probably leaves your reputation lower than just not having the letters.
Ironically, one of the few uses of a paper-mill degree is applying for a job. If you're dealing with a large company that has written prereqs, it can get your resume past the initial HR screen and into the hands of someone who can correctly assess your previous job experience and accomplishments.
