In Reply To: I have an MBA, and a MSc in engineering. I apply to entry, mid, an executive level positions, but companies don't even call me. Companies claim to be looking for top-notch qualifications but guys with just a BSc are the ones getting the jobs. WHY ? This job market doesn't make sense. The message they send is " don't go to the university, it is not worthy". Anybody going through a similar situation ??? What's wrong with corporate America. They rather hire a guy with a BSc instead of one with an MBA and for the same salary. WHY ???
Message: I guess I must be one of the lucky ones. I have 25 years of experience, worked in investment banking/consulting, and now I'm copying and pasting data into Excel worksheets and doing misc. administrative/clerical work. I feel your pain. All this education and experience for what? I don't think it's getting any better either. I've been in misery for four years now.
