We asked you what you thought about the quality of employees who had returned to the workforce after studying for an MBA. Here's the results of our poll:

12.3% of respondents thought that holders of an MBA returned to the workforce all fired up and able to add immediate commercial value.

10.6% thought that studying for the MBA was a good use of the employee's time, and that MBA holders justified the costs firms incur to hire them.

22.2% said that they felt holders of an MBA returned to the workforce lacking a commercial focus and needed to quickly readjust to 'the real world'.

38.1% of respondents said that MBA holders had just wasted their time obtaining a qualification no-one cares about.

16.8% said that they viewed MBAs as a waste of space.
