M.B.A. - MEANT TO BECOME ANONYMUS ?

So there is an obvious thrill to competing with over 200,000 people to be in the top half percentile, and the competition provides an intellectual adrenaline rush, competing against time, combating stress et al. But is the prize worth the struggle? WHAT'S THE HYPE ABOUT THIS COURSE ANYWAY? IT ISN'T THOROUGH OR SPECIFIC. Whatever individuality, creativity and happiness that somehow survived its way through engineering will probably give way to more practical skills like time management and surviving without sleep. Going to the best college in the country isn't really a big deal, I mean the whole point is that there are more people wanting to get in than seats but that doesn't mean that supposed 'smart' people who get through will be any smarter. As far as hours of labour equaling gearing up for corporate life is concerned just goes to show that employment in any form is no different than labour ! And as far as the money goes , The best salary ( NET, not gross / ctc / whatever ) is less than the monthly rent for a decent house in south Delhi. I mean really, is intelligence that worthless? On another note, I've at least learnt that the only way to not have regrets is to throw everything you have at something and if you still can't do it and aren't able to make it happen. It does on the other hand make you feel utterly useless and incompetent. Feeling Guilt vs Feeling Useless. The choices life gives !
