I wonder if Steve Jobs would survive in B school, he will tell the professors how wrong they are and he would be right ofcourse but then would he graduate?
Well, he dropped out of college, so I doubt it. He would no doubt have been among the many tech execs who would poo-poo the value of an MBA, meanwhile hiring hundreds of MBAs for his company...
@@CareerProtocol It would ofcourse depend on what you need. If you need to create the better product or create innovation then I dont think the MBA is for that as these would be product focused such as for those in Tech these would have to be sourced from Engineers and those with the proper domain knowledge. But yes MBA is trained for a specific group of task and thats great because Companies do need competent people in these areas but do you wonder how companies just fail to develop new products and innovation but rather just focus on optimization until they're disrupted? But B school does provide a form of selection mechanism that is a fit for graduate recruitment and thats a plus for everyone specially if you dont really have to take too much time off as studies show stopping your career for high performance people doesnt really give you a leg up to those who stayed and took internal learning and development and continually got promoted while you were away.
I believe the only thing nobody can take away from you is your education. However it is a shame that most of the university degrees nowadays are out of reach (financially) for the majority of people regardless of their personal skills, experience and determination. Right now I am looking at a £40k MBA from Warwick business school, 17th in the world, but still out of reach. How do you find funding for education in the UK without accumulating crippling debt?
The education bubble is real, Borislav. There are two answers to this question. 1. Get scholarships 2. Get loans. Schools give scholarships to the most coveted candidates. If you got into the program and they didn't give you a scholarship, then just ask. The worst they can say is no. For the second, this is what nearly all MBAs do - they borrow from their future earnings to guarantee that their future earnings are higher. This works well for most people because they make enough money in the first few years post-MBA to be able to pay down the debt. It's not a risk free approach but it is what most MBAs do and schools help facilitate these loans for all their students. My own MBA cost $150,000, and I borrowed nearly 100% of that. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Best of luck!
