MBA teaches you nothing. Nothing at all!

In India, MBA is just a degree which teaches you how to fool others, how to play with others emotions by not working in groups, throwing around jazzy management jargons which can very well be explained in plain English and above all,  how to network your way up the B School ladder through desperate class participation to influential seniors and playing politics to get into the so called popular clubs.
