<p>DBA and Ph.D in business are academic-oriented.. good for teachers, but not as practical in real life since it's not a professional degree.
A degree in business administration is not great for quantitative occupations. If you want to do finance, better get a Ph.D in math/physics.
If you want to be a manager, then (afaik) MBA is the degree to get.</p>
<p>"B.A. grads generally start as analysts(fancy name for number cruncher). MBA+ start as associates(if they are good at it)."
I don't think that makes sense.</p>
