I don't want to get into a debate for or against an undergraduate business degree on a baseball board. I will only say I've seen the argument both ways. The WSJ argument seems elitist. Not everyone can afford to get an undergrad degree in philosophy (which qualifies a kid to push coffee at Starbucks), then go for an MBA. Even at a state school that would be 150k worth of educational expense. At a private like the one I'm sure the writer attended it would run about 360k.

Disclaimer: I have a BA in Econ and an MBA. As an undergrad the big company with three letters was looking for a business, math or econ degree with better than a 3.2 as a starting point.

Note: I was correct about the writer. She attended Cornell and Columbia.
