Watch it jackass what did you score on the ASVAB anyways? It had better be a 99 with that attitude. Even if they did have what you consider "lesser" degrees the military reconises schools like AMU. A lot of soldiers are too busy saveing your pompus ass to sit down at harvard. As a result they use DANTES, online courses, or whatever they can to get their degree. As for picking to go enlisted, if what difference does it make what the private sector would think of their degree? If the Army says you can be an officer with it, then you can. If that person then chooses to go enlisted instead it has nothing to do with the degree but a personal choice. Besides online schools get you less in debt to begin with, so it decreases your odds of needing to go down the enlisted path. Most of the guys in AIT that I knew with degrees got them from state schools. Not that it matters though. Do you get it now? You could be an A student at harvard or a C student at AMU, you still get the same rank on your ACU when you swear in.
Yes, but if they got their MBAs from Troy University, Capella, American Military U.,ect., then their degrees don't really mean much. You're using "MBA" to imply that these people are well-educated and well-credential and are still choosing to enlist instead of becoming officers. But MBA programs are everywhere and anyone who wants to sign up can get into at least 1. Thus, these people of whom wou speak, it's fair to say, are probably not representative of the best and brightest our country has to offer.
