“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.”

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.

“Next decade is amazingly bright - in Asia. Go west, young man! “

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.

That's true. And logically, the eventual consequence of unbridled globalism/free trade (cloaked as capitalism to conceal its unpalatable aspects) without a moral counterbalance is slave labor.

And you expect that with this comment, other people should trust their life savings to you?
