I read Penelope Trunk’s blog every day. Yep, she’s brazen. Today’s post suggested that you shouldn’t dodge the recession by going to grad school. She says that grad school is full of depressed losers who can’t find a job and want to delay their adulthood.
My experience with fellow grad school students was different. Business school was full of ambitious, bright thinkers. The program applied to our day jobs, and it broadened the way we all thought about business. If you think that the letters M-B-A make for a magic career carpet ride, I guess she is right.
That’s not the case for the MBAs I know. What do you think? Is the Brazen Careerist right, or are we a little less shallow than that?
