"A MBA Degree Doesn’t Do Much for Your Resume - Internships do ! "
Research Fact
Majoring in business does not improve one’s prospects of landing a job in business — but internships do .

Sample Size and methodology
  The researchers sent about 9,400 fictitious resumes to online job openings in business-related fields, such as finance, management, and marketing.
 Resumes were randomly assigned 1 of 9 different majors (e.g., accounting, biology, economics, English, finance), and 4 resumes were submitted to each ad.

Response from employers
 Resumes with business degrees were not significantly more likely to lead to an interview, but resumes listing INTERNSHIP experience were 14% (2.2 percentage points) more likely to receive an interview request - than those without.
Possible Reason
Internship experience may signal traits valued by employers, such as innate ability or advanced skills, the researchers suggest.
