For the benefit of some people here, I actually have an MBA and I achieved it while still working for Ansett.
An MBA is a "licence to learn" the art of management, it is NOT a "licence to manage".
I have proved in my own career that there is NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AT THE COAL FACE. An MBA will complement that experience and allow you to build on it.
The idea that once you have an MBA you can manage anything is completely and utterly false.
....And I got lectured by Saint Margaret Jackson about what a wonderful example of MBA success she was at least every Six months. Stupid +++++.
