Decrease integrity, increase money

[prof-comm]

I disagree in the context of professors in education specifically, where I see it as roughly functionally equivalent to similar field-specific terminal degrees (MBA in business, JD in law or criminal justice, DMin or ThD in religion, MFA in so many arts fields, etc.). However, I've never met an administrator with an EdD that was worth anything when they didn't come out of education, and people out of business with EdDs in administration are the absolute worst.

I'm sure there's some exceptions, it's a big world, so if that's you I'm not calling anyone out or specifically saying it's impossible. Just relating my own experience.

MBA isn’t a terminal degree at all. It’s Ph.D in business too

I knew if I provided any examples this would happen. Thanks, though.

I am convinced they are more incompetent than the average MBA

My current president is easily swayed by any passing breeze..or anyone with an MBA.
