You need to do a Master's if you want to be a professional nowadays.

On your first comment, you don't need a Masters to be a professional nowadays. In fact, I'd argue the opposite that unless your job is highly technical or something along the lines of a Doctor/Dentist, a Masters degree is largely unnecessary for a profession.
As for MBA's being useless, it depends on the context. If people are taking an MBA purely because they think it will get them ahead and that's it, then yes it's useless. You shouldn't be allowed to take an MBA unless you have work experience otherwise it is completely pointless.
To say that it's useless to everyone though is definitely a stretch. My business partner is currently taking his MBA and the tools he is getting out of the classes he is taking are invaluable to us.

And there's 100% ROR out there...again though this stuff just isn't taught in the education system, that's the fundamental flaw. I blame it on the Rich not wanting anybody else to know their secrets!! Damn you Thompson family, damn you.
