There is nothing I hate more than the idea that a doofus with a MBA or experience in some unrelated business (like real estate) knows what is best for the media industry. Many media owners will turn up their noses at hiring people who studied journalism or media in favor of a person with a MBA or no experience at all.
I found this opinion piece from the Christian Science Monitor that criticizes the obsession with MBA degrees.
