      The thing I find interesting with the obsession of elite non-STEM, non-creative young people wanting to go into consulting or finance as opposed to literally any other part of the "business" world is that... this is obviously unsustainable. Consulting and finance only exists if there are clients (i.e. businesses/entrepreneurs that directly do productive and valuable things). People are scared little souls playing their status games, no one wants to take a risk. Not even the most privledged people in society. This is probably less true for immigrants, so once again WE NEED IMMIGRATION.

      You prob don't get the grind of what consultants do to get that cushy salary. I'm not a consultant, but it sucks. I made it to final round interviews with McKinsey and BCG. They work 60 to 65 hour weeks and are traveling often thousand mile flights every single week living 4 days a week in a hotel. So they spend 200 out of 365 days a year in a hotel. That 60 to 65 hours is just work time if you add on travel or time away from home it's much more. Post MBA you go in as an associate which is 2nd level up from bottom, analyst. Most post MBA do not get promoted from associate either because they can't stand that much work and travel or they aren't considered good enough for promotion. There's limited spots at VP+ and more associates than roles open there.

The only thing that wasn't is financial modeling and accounting. I agree that companies shouldn't look at a top 10 MBA student and think he prob learned so much there that he'll be an asset. It should be more like if he was good enough based on undergrad gpa, major, school, and test scores to get into this top 10 MBA then he'll be good enough here.

    2.1) You can get the prestige by starting your own business or side business
    2.2) You can get the knowledge on the internet
    2.3) You can get the network in consulting
    3) to pivot careers you don't need an mba

I even wrote some fake recommendation letters to see if I could get in but I put in little effort in those letters. They were sloppy. Days later, I got an acceptance letter. They further tried to entice me by saying UC Riverside MBA program’s connection UCLA MBA’s program. After seeing the minimum $80K of student loan debt I would amass in 3 years at UC Riverside, I declined. I chose San Diego State’s master program in engineering. It cost me nothing after financial aid. Glad I made that decision. A UC Riverside MBA degree would’ve been worthless and I would’ve been sitting on over $100K in student debt. I see why these business schools love to accept underqualified students into their program. They don’t care if you graduate or not. They just care about making money off each student even it ruins his or her young life.
