The true glut of unemployed kids these days all have some sort of business degree.

Yep. A general business degree is just about as worthless as some liberal arts degrees.

Gotta specialize.

Yep, and no offense to those that have made it work for them....but this recent trend of MBA programs have made them a dime-a-dozen. If you really want to impress, get a MS degree.

You're missing the point: they're almost ALL worthless. And they chain people with debt.

Not my MBA. Had an undergrad science degree and couldn't find what I wanted so went back and got the MBA. That opened up so many doors that were previously closed to me. Not worthless at all, but yeah, just the degree won't work wonders, you actually have to have a little ambition and even some luck sprinkled in to get what you really desire out of a job.
