It seems to be the sort of ignorant drivel you can expect from Zero Hedge.

A while ago, a Master in Business Adminstration from the Havard Business 
School had two unique features.

It captured the highest starting salaries of any university degree, and 
was worth less than any other academic qualification five years later.

If you plot the salaries of people with academic degrees over time, they 
mostly go up, and go up faster  than those of people without academic 
degrees. People with advanced degrees tend to start higher and go up 
further.

It's a complicated subject, about John Larkin has fixed silly idea.
