Holding both the MPP and MBA degrees, I'm less than enthusiastic for the gloating tone of the article. Still, I was always far enough down in large organizations to delightedly though ruefully marvel at the very notion brought forth in this excerpted line: "Isn't it just a little suspicious, after all, that the sector that showed the greatest ... See Moreappetite for MBAs was the most grotesquely mismanaged?"

Anytime I see a poorly performing company jettison a CEO while giving him or her a golden parachute of, say, $40M, I'm always tempted to right to the company's board and inform them that I would gladly have ruined their company as effectively and more quickly for just one tenth the compensation.

I want to be proud of my MPA. But I do not wish to be associated with this article. I think the business culture was as much a contributing factor to the wrongdoings as the type of degree these people sought. I hold the opinion that many MPA holders would have made little difference had they been in the same positions as the MBA's in this situation.

I would suggest a career in City government. Cities provide the services most relevant to the needs of the people of this country. An individual employee also has a much greater chance to make a positive impact on their organization and the people they serve at the City level. Everytime I deal with a federal agency, I thank god that I have a chance to serve a purpose beyond pointless bureaucracy.

Go Public Service: MPA/MPP Degrees Janny...the short answer is yes as evidenced by the number of MPA schools in China which has been increasing over the last decade. Several delegations from China have come to our offices (wwwnaspaa.org) to learn more on the degrees and school. In Hong Kong the head of the Government (donald tsang) has an MPA as well.
