MBA - Why? Who?

Listening to evergreen 'Nothing else matters' I was struck by a series of questions pounding over my subconscious for some time. Being enrolled as a businees student in one of the good reputed universities, I often have these questions echoing in my head while I walk through the university ramp. Raising up the volume bar, here I think a little aloud.

Q.1: Purpose of doing MBA?
To land with a good job in a good company.

Q.2: Normal psyche of an MBA pursuant?
To cast some halo effect over the employer may be, that he is hiring a candidate who has got his intelligence and knowledge certified by those which are in the business of certifying people after a few tests and trials. Most of the premise above focusses on the employer-employee understanding at the time of interview and qualifying it.

Q3: Needs of the business market?
There never have been enough companies to employ the total population of any geography or the globe. There always has been unemployment because of certain variables. The market needs more starters, now more than ever. Is today's MBA up for it? No, he is busy searching jobs in newspapers.

Q4: Is there room in the business market?
- Product produced and demand difference. Employer's bazaar always need people of commitment and diligent individuals. Theories from books dont survive the transition of the bag from classroom to car parking.


Alternate answers to the questions above are although welcome, yet nothing would change the world much. But it's good to vent out, I guess.
