it depends on the postition. i believe most accounting firms dont require you to have an MBA. if you believe that your past work experiences weight more than your MBA degree, you can omit the MBA degree and put more description on what were your job responsiblities and such.
make your resume fit into the job you are seeking rather than listing all the degrees you have.
good luck

I don't think it is unethical. It is not like you claim to have an MBA degree but you actually don't. Some companies do not want to hire over qualified people because they think there is got to be something wrong with the person. It's like you are a doctor but you are applying for a janitor job. No, your friend should not reveal it. Good luck!

I can't think of any advantage to omitting an MBA unless there is a fear of being overqualified. The MBA is a valuable credential which indicates to employers that the applicant is knowledgeable in the area of business and ambitious in achieving his career goals.

No. The system of degrees and pedigrees is not that important when it comes to true ethics, in my opinion.
Unethical behavior would be doing something that could harm someone.
I don't see a reason for your friend to be overzealous or influenced by self-righteousness in this instance.
Slick Willy betraying his wife, daughter and country would be a prime example of unethical conduct. If only he had the concern your friend does.

No, it is only unethical if you ADD information that you are not qualified for.
