Whatever people with MBA's do.

I have a volunteer at my dog rescue who got her MBA but focused specifically on non-profit administration. She’s amazing, one of the most amazing we have because she handles grant writing and all the paperwork that keeps us in line. Her income job is with an np that helps refugees get their new life established.

It’s like lawyers that actually use their training for good, few and far between but there are some out there.

I still never remember what the fuck MBA stands for without looking it up, I can only think "Master Bachelor Associate" because I feel they're that pretentious; but, I know that's incorrect.
