"But, I do get a chuckle out of what you believe is a "diss," when you're actually stating that MBA holders will not only do better in life, but they'll also control your fate."

This doesn't mean it is not a diss - most parasites fare quite well, and definitely determine fates of their hosts.

Like all rules there are exceptions, and I am old enough to remember when management was battled earned from the trenches, not people thinking they could manage any random company.

It is like assuming generals can win wars straight into the battlefield after graduation from military school.

Some get lucky, most of them do not, then again the little soldiers are the ones thar have to worry with the actual outcome.

Good that you're having fun.

Not if I can help it. America is doomed but I can scavenge out my own little hole to settle in and see if that survives the fallout.

If there's one thing I learned, it's that tech has an amazing ability of scale that can even topple titans if you strike at the right time and place. You won't make trillions, but you can live very comfortably. And that's all I want; I don't need infinite money and exponential growth. And if I do get a company that achieves that I will keep it that way. a proper business, not a speculative stock to gamble with.

It means absolutely nothing to you, but you're the exact kind of person I'd avoid in my company at all costs. Our goals diverge too much, and that's not a bad thing. Comapnies need to have proper alignment to succeed.
