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 ??? |

First of BSc's getting all the jobs is a total fallacy. Currently, the job market is such that if you don't network with the right people you will not get a job. Its all about connections, as trite as that may sound.
Another interesting point is that while you were busy crammin' for your school work and tests, people with BSc's finish faster and acquire work experience. Experience is worth far more than academic knowldege accrual.
