This☝️ At one hospital, they promoted people to run a department of 3 people. They hired a consulting firm to come in and tell them where they were losing money. The consulting firm told them they...
Just posing a question here, but what part does the world of academia play in this. It appears they've become a big business model that keeps pushing for bigger, more expensive degrees. You can't just...
