What do you learn during MBA ?

My friends often ask me, 'Why is an MBA degree so exorbitantly priced ?', 'What exactly do you learn that will help you become a successful manager ?' and 'How is an MBA college different from my earlier engineering college ?'

Here are 10 reasons why -

10. You read more newspapers in a b-school than the names you ever heard in engg
college

9. Mess food is now given yummy names, but it still tastes the same!

8. You play so many dirty tricks to from a project group, by the end of it you can
easily apply for politics

7. Formals is what you wear to classes, sleep in, dine in and @#%$ in!

6. Effective ppts are treated as 'Neighbour's envy, Owner's pride'

5. Verbal Diarrhea and DCP become essential for your survival

4. The required study time in one trimester of a b-school is equivalent to 4 years of
not studying in an engg clg

3. Weekends and Holidays are almost unheard of. Even if you manage to go home
for a few days, its enough to drive you in a hibernation phase

2. Liquor and Cigs are often acquired through the proverbial Import-Export
route(s). And its supply is always more than the demand.

1. You can flirt with as many girls as you want, but quite a lot of them are
committed, engaged, married or (as always) more interested in being 'just' friends
(stays the same forever)

Have more reasons, feel free to drop them in comments!

  2. Hi Chawla, i like your post about the things you do i MBA.

    There are few point that r'nt valid in your case, but may be valid whom you want to scare off.

    10. Newspaper : You always read a lot of other article along with the syllabus books.

    9. Mess Food : Who spent 4 years outside home eating in restaurants, can survive anywhere.

    8. Dirty Tricks : You are born smart, no question in that, without even MBA, you can join Indian Politics.

    7. Formals : Wow to #$%^& in that.

    6. Presentations : Absolutely correct sir, hats off to you.

    5. Verbal Diarrhea : Again rightly said.

    4. Studies in Semester : Whom are you fooling, you studies like Engineering in Matric, and MBA in Engineering. Now what is your studying style, God knows.

    3. Weekends : no comments

    2. Liquor & Cigs : What your status.

    1. Flirt : Flirt and Top, two thing, you did the most.
