Why there is a higher education bubble

The Management Myth. Matthew Stewart, The Atlantic:

[T]he impression I formed of the M.B.A. experience was that it involved taking two years out of your life and going deeply into debt, all for the sake of learning how to keep a straight face while using phrases like “out-of-the-box thinking,” “win-win situation,” and “core competencies.”

The whole piece is worth reading, but that sentence was just delicious.
