Many, many truly knowlegeable people believe that business schools are the worst thing that ever happend to American business.
Most MBAs go into consulting or some part of the financial community like investment banking. These are fields that do not participate inn the "value added" sector of the economy. In other words they produce nothing of value. They produce transactions and take a fee for it.
I tell my friends with kids to have them become a plumber or car mechanic. Those fields will always be needed, even when unemployed stock analysts are sitting in their McMansions.

What are you trying to get across with this question? All jobs are essential or they wouldn't exist. Should a plumber make as much money as an MBA? No.
What is wrong with the current thinking among the elite is that all people are capable of aspiring to become an MBA. That simply isn't true. And at the rate that they are shipping fair wage jobs overseas, we are very shortly going to have a growing poor class of people.

Well, if you need a plumber to unclog YOUR toilet, what are you eating?
I'd say both are important. Maybe the MBA is the son of a plumber and he understands financial markets and takes his Dad's business and expands it, creating jobs and improving the level of plumbing service in their area.

Both contribute to their specified fields. So I say both
