Avoid doing superfluous degrees from top-notch academic institutions.
Most of the top academic brand names will help you up to a certain extent, but, what employers are looking for are skills earned from subjects/specializations which can add value to their brands and bottom line
Just recently saw a top-notch social science specialist school offering a degree in #history in conjunction with another excellent #Asian Uni.
The problem is that nobody wants to hire exotic #historians, unless you are applying to work in the civil services or as a journalist.
Beware.
A lot of universities are also advertising all types of degrees from financially #besmirching faculties which aren't contributing much to the university revenues.
So the vultures (FT staff) are offering degrees with a twist to lure innocent students to save their own jobs
Why would any idiot do a degree in PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) for £15,000+++?
British Education in any case has employer traction because it produces less-skilled students compared to their American counterparts.
They are many reasons behind that!
You will find a lot of third-rate UK universities well represented now in the #UAE and across SE-Asia(#Malaysia) in particular.
Rubbish degrees offer no global employment prospects.
Many South Asian Students and from other LDCs travel to such locations to get an academic degree.

Do business school professors need business experience?
Many #PhDs / #DBA's end up in teaching and/or academic business research.
Both are different areas.
For teaching, you have to have practical experiences that you are supposed to share with the classroom.
Many corporate world leaders are the most sought after when it comes to teaching business courses in an #MBA program!

Be strong by commingling with the right people.

You can learn a lot from both negative and positive aspirations.
Negativity is not an abnormal feeling which we should avoid at all times. It just tells us to be watchful and careful.
Similarly, Positivity helps us to remain optimistic and open-minded.
I, as a middle office risk management professional, have become largely negative about everything.
That is how we work and are trained at firms.
