Are there exceptions? I am one. I got hired over all the MBAs. They told me when I was interviewed, through a personal referral, that they were looking for an MBA for the position. Ten days later I was offered the job, and it was Merrill Lynch too. I covered retail stores: department and food. Then I got clothing.
Then I switched firms and worked for the top auto analyst, who was a woman. And no one asked after that where I went to school or what I took. So my actual situation is mutli-colored.
But I do wish to have you all over for a cocktail party, would be an interesting conversation. But then you wouldn't take me seriously.
