"he Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. Students in some MBA programs have the option to select an area or multiple areas of concentration and focus approximately one-third of their studies in this subject."

Accounting - whether 2+2 = 5 or 3 depends on whether you are buying or selling.
Marketing - the ability to get people to pay for things they don't need
Human resources - the expertise in how to fire and bully people without getting sued
Operations management - the expertise in bullying, bribing, or coercing others into doing what you want them to do whether it is or is not part of their proper responsibility.


Academic learning includes philosophy, theology (if you can call it academic rather than inspirational), law, mathematics, ancient languages, modern languages, literature, fine arts, hard sciences like physics or chemistry. You might even include economics at a push.

You gave the game away Willie when you admitted that you found your MBA the most useful of your qualifications. Now we know where your heart lies.
