Busier interviewing than fixing the bugs in your own app ?

I was when I was foolish enough to be a manager myself.  I could only take it a few months - nothing but meetings talking about work, accountable for the work of others but producing nothing myself, writing about work.  Never doing any work.  It was like sitting in a room listening to Tom Cruise read off tommy's greatest hits all day every day.   I ended up quitting to find a job back in the engineer's level.

Or in the case of my Brother-in-law, an MBA gives you the tools and knowledge to cheat taxes effectively in small business.

That's not what happens in my field.  It doesn't mean the other two hit the trash can - it means one of the three has a meaningless MBA on it.
