There was an article in The Atlantic, possibly a couple of years ago, about how business management degrees are not that useful. It was written by a guy who got a business job after majoring in Philosophy, and he said that that had prepared him just as much about how to deal with people as any of the business literature did, which mostly dealt with gobbledygook buzzwords. The reason why people with MBAs from Harvard are so sought after is because only the cream of the crop is let into the program, not necessarily because of anything you learn in the program itself. That's the argument the article made at least.
