I am also deeply unimpressed with business school graduates. In any case, I believe it is not “school of businessmen” but “haggle of businessmen.”

Trade schools these days (or at least the good ones — such as the one I work for) often require a level of math and written and verbal communication skills and a strong work ethic that kids of any IQ, suburban or urban, often have a hard time meeting.

In addition, I’d argue the high IQ kids would be much better managers and professionals if they had some applied education under their belt, especially the biz school grads.

The Bell Curve shows that half of all kids are below the normal IQ. Doesn’t that suggest we need to send at least half the kids to trade schools instead of college?

Of course, the Bell Curve does not apply in Lake Wobegon nor with Utopian Democrats.
