Why would someone do this?

I think he has three MBA Majors - Accounting, Finance, and something else. I think he was working on an second PhD/DBA also but could be wrong.

 

LOL, what you wrote definitely does not describe me, but to be a good sport and answer your question, It would take you three times the knowledge and effort to do two different MBA in very hard subjects (Accounting and Finance) and different delivery methods. It does not makes me smarter but knowledgeable.

 

3 MBA= Business Administration, Accounting, and Finance. I was doing the DBA in Accounting but ended up with the CAGS in Accounting, me I got tired of seen numbers, I enjoy too much my retirement to enter that kind of hassle at this time. But I will not discard the possibility to do it in the future, will see.

My stacking:
BBA in Accounting
BBA in Psychology
MBA in Business Administration
MBA in Accounting
MBA in Finance
DBA in Business Administration
CAGS In Accounting (Certificate Advance Graduate Studies at Doctoral Level).

 

No issues! You are a good kid!

 

Degree inflation is the main reason. People feel that they need multiple credentials to remain competitive. Not many people would look too closely at his CPU MBA as he already has quite a few diplomas.

The same is happening with certifications, I have noticed few organizations overseas that offer american equivalent certifications such as CFA, CPA, CMA, etc but with little effort and sometimes just some membership fees. People get them even if they are bogus just to have the right to include these brand names in a resume.

 

Many resumes submitted as part of a job application are automatically scanned, looking for key words and phrases, to determine who makes the first cut. I'd guess there are scanning algorithms that look for "MBA" but don't pay attention to the school it came from.

 

Of course!

 

Makes sense …
Too as you point out … California Pacific was /is no mill.

 

Was gone but occasionally drop by, failed to notice and or understand Craniac's sense of humor. That is water under the bridge and I am up to speed now, I found it to be funny though, which bring some humor to this old timer. Good to be back, posting that is!

 

may be they want a good information background that,s why they do that lots of educational background means capabilities of in many related fields.
