Life In A B-School : Two Years Elegantly Wasted

Comments

Couldn't agree more. The best article to describe the "actual" life at b school.

People are interested more in what is happening in others lives instead of living theirs.... It's sad really

Straightforward.

Even after working hard to get inside one, finally some body had the guts to pen down and post not so pleasing but 'real picture' of B-school life, when everyone else will just pretend to be blesses to be part of one.

Agree with many of the points you have stated, but it is not restricted to MBA, hence I don't believe that B-School life deserves the blame here. As a mature individual, we should be able to decide for ourselves what's right or wrong for ourselves. So it's our undoing if we feel that MBA life has been a waste; because we were provided with enough resources which we could leverage and make these 2 years meaningful.

Most of these things mentioned are not features of MBA life, but of Life in general. Cracking the CAT is so hard that most people (like the author) seem to think that if I've aced CAT, the rest of my life should be a cake walk. However this is clearly not so. Many of the experiences mentioned here are highly personal in nature. The most critical thing to realize over here is that not everyone who collaborates with you, or has to work with you, or asks your whereabouts have to be your deepest and closest friends. I have made a few deep friendships in my time in an IIM but a majority of my relationships here are a professional one. That is how it is once you join an industry and I am not sure why is that such a negative.

If I am not wrong, the author was forced into MBA like most are forced into engineering. The author finds pleasure in creative arts more than anything else.

Brilliant article! It is such an overrated concept! Let's sit in this company because seniors say so. Let's participate in this competition because seniors say so. Let's not "study in class" because heck who studies in a bschool. Let's get drunk and make out with random people cos its cool. People don't understand it is such a big opportunity cost investing in a b school degree.

I think this is true for Capitalism in general! B-school is just one of the aspects of it! Don't think we can blame the students for selling their ideas especially when they come in with a hefty loan or their head. The part of excess is very true but then it's really a test of character of how do we deal when you have an opportunity to get an excess of everything. I believe B- School is a land of opportunities, not just jobs but in all aspects and it really comes down on what we want to take it from here.
