"Just shut up and push the nerd-buttons, nerd."

I went and got an MBA to try and get around this. It didn't work.

I had a professor in grad school, Computer Engineering, that begged me not to get an MBA--he had worked in industry, particularly defense, and had a very low opinion of MBAs. I tend to agree nowadays. I really think the cookie-cutter "safe" approach that MBA types take, along with them maximizing profits using data science tools, has made the USA a worse place overall.
