New2, I think you totally misunderstood my previous post, even 180 degrees. I was not saying that Univ. of Phoenix is a great school because they advertise. I was saying the exact opposite. That if one thinks he can get some online degree and people won’t know the difference, in truth, everybody else knows about online degrees, too, as they see the same ads.

Now the second point is that you mention Wharton as being the top B-school, but come on, you forgot about Sloan, which is MIT’s business school. As they say in MIT, Harvard is the playground down the block.

Third, while it is true that gemara develops the yiddishe kup, but one must also develop skills in secular studies to be able to communicate with the secular world. One does not go around convincing others of his point by waving his thumb in the courtroom or the law firm, as one does in Yeshiva. One must learn to write focused and well-reasoned and well-sourced briefs and documents. This is a skill which many yeshiva bochurim lack, as their English and writing is atrocious. And if you want to go into a scientific or technical field, al achas kamah vkamah that you will need to learn real material in real courses.
