“I am graduating with an MBA from a prestigious american university at the end of the year and I’m mad as hell.”
... About the ridiculous tuition you paid? Or that you bought into the prestigious thingy? Sorry, target rich environment, that post was.
“Now that the criminal negligence and moral lapses in public and private leadership are so obvious to me, and yet remain so elusive to many of my classmates I am very pessimistic about the next decade.”
Next decade is amazingly bright - in Asia. Go west, young man! More initial public offerings are happening in Asia than in the USA and London combined (so I’ve heard). Our country is being choked by loss of liberty, over-regulation, freeloading bums, non-elected rule-making weasel agencies, over-taxation and lack of balls by those elected. In the meantime, Asia continues to rise. Go to Singapore. Good luck.
Greece will eventually leave the Euro. So will Spain. So will anther biggy by the time this is over.

I said it that way trying to emphasize that most of my classmates will be going into the some of the largest private leadership roles having been educated by the people that are the cause of many of the problems.
(also, I am here on 50% scholarship and grants.)
Yes I did come here because I wanted more access to the brightest minds and biggest institutions. But now that I’m nearly done I’ve committed myself to a non-profit management career where the mission is the bottom line not eps.

Absolutely not. That is more of the same. Exporting this behavior globally while chasing money around the world until it’s all gone will leave the WHOLE world (instead of half of it) in this predicament. I’m sorry if I don’t want to sacrifice all the people, history, tradition, and art I love in the name of profit.
All of our “brightest minds” can’t be on one side of the stakeholder/shareholder gap.
