Description: "Author Mariana Zanetti pens an eye-opening expose into the world of higher business education that will appeal to all those who have, or are contemplating getting, their master's of business administration (MBA) degree. The MBA Bubble is nothing short of revolutionary in a world where young professionals are increasingly encouraged to mortgage their futures for little return. In straightforward and honest prose, Zanetti reveals the truth about the role of MBAs in today's world. Created one hundred years ago for an age that no longer exists, these degrees have become ruinous investments for the hoards of young professionals who have been convinced by business schools that they are necessary. Zanetti also demonstrates how to meet one's professional goals without plummeting into massive debt, teaching readers how to think critically and challenge the faulty mental models most people accept without question. The MBA Bubble is a must-read for all those who have, or are considering, a higher business education degree. Armed with facts and alternative resources, readers will walk away from Zanetti's book with a newfound understanding of the way business schools really work"--P. [4] of cover.
