> I find it frustrating that many tech people (sorry for being general, but I see it a lot on this site and other communities) have a general sense of disdain for MBA/BBA-educated individuals
Speaking as an MBA, the problem isn't so much the education itself as it is the types of individuals MBA programs attract.
Many of those people are just looking for ways to bump up their base salary. Many don't "take away" any real knowledge, because the program is just a means to an end. In my MBA program, there were plenty of greedy and fake people, and it's no surprise to me that people with MBAs garner so much disdain.
