Evolution of an MBA


Brought to you by Wharton Follies 2011

So here's a video to break my blog's text monotony! Of course, it has to be MBA-related. 

Comments:
Ooh, Case in Point - our textbook for case interviews.
Au Bon Pain for group meeting snacks? Check. Those group meetings could take hours.
MBAs love costume parties.
Professional attire? Yup, you learn to leave a suit and shoes in your locker.
Jaunts to exotic destinations are not for money-saving me.
Eating out of the bin? Ugh, no.


Seriously, the changes you absorb as you go through the MBA wringer - all that business jargon of ROI, tax returns, marketing promotions and Lean operations suddenly make sense; networking in professional attire while drinking cocktails becomes part of your routine; negotiating and debating with teammates are learned skills, etc - won't necessarily make a superstar out of you once you graduate, and it's important to remember that. (MBAs have this reputation of being know-it-alls, especially MBAs from particular elite schools.)
