MBA has made my life hell. Wish I had never done it. In other countries situation is same. It is a GIVE HEAD TO GET AHEAD rule everywhere. Here in US you get ahead if you talk great and MBAs are trained to do that. Infact whole investment banking and MBA experience is not very pleasant. I've come to realization that MBA may be beneficial to some specific groups of society, like you mentioned, it may totally be useless for some, like me. Without any connections, any solid background in Finance, or any great job titles MBA is the last nail in your coffin.
