The Danger of Too Much Education Without Increasingly Responsible Experience

[sanantone]

AV8R linked to this guy's LinkedIn page on the other forum. I thought it would be good to post it in its own thread here as a warning of getting too much education in business/management without the experience. This guy had a lot of work experience as a supervisor for a construction company, but that job ended over a decade ago. Ever since, he has had low-end jobs. I don't count the 1-year stint as a CEO of his own failed company as anything significant. And yet, he just kept on furthering his education all the way to the PhD level getting degrees in management/human resources and leadership (I personally do not have a high opinion of leadership degrees). What makes it even worse is that he attended some very expensive colleges. He's now an associate at Walmart. Hopefully, he can work his way up to a management position. I know the job market is still not that great, but it is not bad in Virginia, where this man is currently living.
