Getting a business degree is simply the socially acceptable version of the underwater basket weaving trope that people complain about. It’s only practical in the sense that people don’t scorn it in the same way they do other niche topics. I would trust the intelligence of someone with a degree in medieval shoe making over a suit with an MBA.
I’ve said this before that MBAs teach people to make the worst decisions possible in any given situation. The critique of the frozen businessmen from Adventure Time is pretty spot on.
Royal courts at least had jesters.
Though there was an interesting book I read years and years ago about corporate jesters.
I know someone who used to work for a major beer manufacturer and they had a corporate magician on staff lol
Most businessmen I know are absolute fucking clowns, so that checks out.
