most physicists, even at the undergrad level, knows some statistics, even if they haven't taken a course in statistics, "statistical mechanics" is likely mandatory for all physics majors. and mathematical physics classes do cover some statistics. and, i don't see how the math in stat is "incredibly" simple.

MBA's have horrible reputations. anybody who throws around a degree is bad enough, anybody who throws around an MBA degree is downright hilarious. i don't even see MBA as something to be proud of; it's merely something you can get a great job with.

Sorry, I can't agree with you. The classes I'm taking is absolutely useful. Using stats to determine if certain events trigger a spurge or crash of a stock market, using hypothesis testing to make claims as to whether gun control actually has an effect in preventing crime, using optimization to work out a schedule's critical path, using financial accounting to determine if a stock is overpriced or underpriced. It's all very useful even if you don't get a great job with it.

yeah, the stuff you take is useful, i didn't say they're not. my point is, one would need to re-examine one's career path doing an MBA for the sake of learning these things.  it's absolutely about getting a GREAT job.
