Comment on The Commoditization of Credentialism: Why MBAs and JDs Can’t Get Jobs by Taylor Pearson

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience. I totally agree and perhaps should go back and add some caveats. “On average” college and particularly JD/MBA programs are overvalued but there’s definitely exception to that.

Comment on The Commoditization of Credentialism: Why MBAs and JDs Can’t Get Jobs by Mark Robinson

Right now it’s all referral. Perhaps the social graph will expand and referrals at scale will replace credentials?
