Tell yourself it's intellectual if you want, but tacking on a jurisprudence course doesn't make our degrees less technical.

I agree that an MBA is not an intellectual pursuit and it is vocational degree. But that is not true of all professional degrees. Just because going to law school qualifies one to sit for the bar and practice law upon passing does not mean that it is not an intellectual pursuit. The curriculum of an MBA program is much more vocational in nature. There may be a bit of ethics or policy taught, but it is an afterthought in an MBA program. You cannot say that about the law school that I went to. Policy considerations, the history of the legal system and particular areas of the law, and ethics were an integrated part of almost every class I took.
But then, I didn't get a law degree at a night school.
