    What's up yal! So as many of you know, I had a different channel for career videos (@rareliquidcareers), but I decided to turn that channel into a shorts channel and reintroduce / focus on career videos on this (@rareliquid) channel). So look forward to more career videos! Let me know down below what kind of career / MBA related videos you'd like to see :)
    Also, if you're interested in business school, I highly recommend TTP! They were crucial in helping me getting a 750 on the GMAT. Use my link below to try them out for 5 days for just $1!

    With all the socializing, the program can't be that intense. Where I believe that the classes are probably easy for you, I have to also assume that there is nothing there that can't be learned online for free. The college and university pedagogue is expensive, unnecessary, and archaic. It is headed for a massive change. Your videos are free, concise, informative, and there is no tuition bill. Take the money you are spending on Wharton and put it to better use with another start up or invest more into rareliquid. If I am wrong, I can take it, let me know.

    • @rareliquid
      @rareliquid  2 года назад +18

      program is intense when thinking of the time you need to spend on everything but i agree the classes themselves are not intense (will make video about classes later but tldr is they are graded easily so you don't have to worry about grades and instead focus on what you want to learn / recruiting / networking / etc). re the tuition, i'll make a video later about my plan to getting a positive ROI from the business ideas i could only execute on from being in school. thx for the comment though! i get where you're coming from

    Are a lot of your classmates married? The reason I ask is that I would like to understand the dynamics of the Wharton MBA social life for those students who are married, given that I am married and plan to pursue an MBA in the future. Do these students' partners usually relocate with them whenever they start their MBA programs? Do the partners come to some of the social events organized for the students? I would really appreciate it if you could provide some insight on this topic. Thank you very much!

    yo ben. I have a couple pointers following up on your video:
    1) well obviously you said you're going into your MBA mostly for the MBA content creation, social scene, and to expand rareliquid as a business as your post-MBA plans. Importantly, you will not be recruiting at all. Your time breakdown reflects this, with more than 50% of your MBA time spent on socials and rareliquid. That's an insane amount of time. I wanted to ask you: most of your viewers are probably looking to do an MBA for diff reasons than yours - for example to recruit, or for the classwork. How do you think u can create helpful content for those of us who are looking to spend most of their MBA time on recruiting and finance-focused classes?
    2) leading into my 2nd point, you spend > 50% of your time on socials and rareliquid. What's the time breakdown looking like for others who have diff goals than you? For example those focusing on recruiting. Maybe a survey of your classmates' time breakdown as a future video?
    Thanks, keep it up Ben

    • @rareliquid
      @rareliquid  2 года назад

      hey~ thanks for the questions - very thoughtful!
      1. Regarding the socializing, believe it or not, I'm probably around average if not less than average because of rareliquid. As I said in the video, I say no to a lot of social events each week so I can work.
      Regarding creating helpful content, I have many ideas including interviewing my classmates who come from a wide range of industries and top firms. For recruiting, I admit that's a spot I wouldn't be able to shine light on firsthand, but I do learn a lot about the processes from my classmates.
      Lastly regarding classes, I'm actually majoring in finance so mostly will be taking finance classes. Plus will be making some videos about the academics.
      2. They probably spend the amount of time I spend on rareliquid on recruiting instead. But recruiting is usually a 3-4 month stretch for the summer internship. The rest of the MBA experience revolves around social activities.
      Hope this helps!

    Whoa, that's an insane social side. I'm really curious: do you think the MBA will have a significant impact on what rareliquid is? The channel/business has evolved and touched upon different strands (stocks, crypto, business, financial, etc) since its inception, so do you see its identity being shaped differently going forward? Also, you said you were going to do the 2 years when you were thinking about only doing 1, but if you get what you need from the first year, will you continue onto year two?
    You mentioned your *English* name was Ben in another video, and I was like, The way he said it sounds like he has a Korean name....and you do!
    Still unsure how you balance everything, but it's great to see the updates!

      great questions as always! i actually recently decided a few days ago to focus mainly on career content because (1) it's what i enjoy making most and (2) it's what the RUclips analytics says i'm best at haha. so may make some investing content moving forward but am in the process of shifting most of my focus to career stuff
      so i made the tough decision to discontinue the rareliquid careers channel even though a lot of effort was put into it. am thinking of converting that into a shorts channel
      and planning to do 2 years and finishing off the mba! am enjoying my experience so far

      course content can be challenging but the way classes are graded make the academic part of mba not too bad. not many exams but usually there are assignments here and there. will be making a video focused on academics so stay tuned!
