You know once affluent, middle-aged moms get into something, it's over. We mean, no offense to the ladies, but look what happened with, say, Juicy Couture, Norah Jones, and La Esquina. Now, apparently, this crowd has set its sights on the MBA. In a shrewd new step in their ongoing effort to ensure that no one ever goes to b-school again, the Times business section today has a trend story about Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business "Back in Business" program, which caters to mommies who want to muscle their way back into the workforce. Simultaneously, the Brazen Careerist has a column listing all the reasons why the MBA has become obsolete. Coincidence? We think not. Also, it's kind of funny how it’s called the Tuck School, which reminds us a little bit of plastic surgery. MBAs! They're the new Botox.
