Isn't it 12th grade where they teach American Government? Have you not gotten there yet? Its okay if you haven't, but I hope you got your parents consent before joining this forum.
Absolutely, that was my intent. Additionally, she pursued the MBA from University of Phoenix for the same reason Shaquille O'neal did:
An RN with an MBA is going to be working as a hospital administrator. I don't know what she did before, but she's still an RN even with the MBA so she didn't change her field or career and is probably still working for the same institution.
Which is fine if that was the stated intention...this path makes sense to me...but for her to say that she is now now no longer outmatched by surgeons and, essentially, on a level playing field with surgeons is definitely reaching...like I said before, her MBA doesn't increase her ability to talk to surgeons whatsoever...the logic behind it is flawed. Even with the example of Shaq, at least he could talk some buisness with the likes of Bill Gates or Trump albeit nowhere near the same level of understanding.
It is really more to do with the way 'professionals' tend to treat 'staff'. They look down on them, treat them as if they are stupid or incompetent, and usually casually disregard anything they say. Clearly this is wrong, but it seems to be, generally speaking, the way such things go, it is very common in the legal field as well. What she meant was that once she had an MBA, she was bestowed with a professional degree, and in many cases a higher professional degree than most of the 'professionals' around her, and it makes her feel empowered and less likely to be condescended to in her workplace. That's what she means.
