一句话：机遇与风险并存

随便再扯点，各人的risk tolerance和expect return不一样，注定了这个投资策略不同。现在这样的讨论好，pros and cons bring clearer mind.

我有个问题，MBA学费如此高昂。贷款好解决吗？要10W美元。

商学院不能把不成功的人变成成功的人，也不能把一般成功的人变成非常成功的人。

首先你要是个成功的人，并把MBA当成你成功道路上的众多因素中的一个，清楚的知道MBA能给你带来的是什么，不能给你带来的是什么，并把这些都再你的申请里表达出来。成功是心态加行动，而不一定是结果。所以每个人对成功的定义可以不同。

这就是你考虑学习MBA时的策略，也是你application的策略. 商学院（至少是顶级商学院）在寻找的就是这样的candidate.

my 2 cents, comments are welcome. Thanks!

Bank of America rescinds job offers to foreign MBAs

By Della Bradshaw in London

Published: March 9 2009 02:00 | Last updated: March 9 2009 02:00

Bank of America has become the first US bank to withdraw job offers made to MBA students graduating from US business schools this summer, citing conditions laid out in its bail-out deal as the reason.

The passed $787bn stimulus bill in effect prevents financial institutions that have received money from the government's troubled asset relief programme from applying for H1-B visas for highly skilled immigrants if they have made US workers redundant.

BofA, which has received a total of $45bn (?6bn, £32bn) in Tarp funds, is in the process of digesting two large acquisitions - Countrywide, the mortgage broker, and Merrill Lynch - which will see thousands of jobs lost. A spokesman for the bank said: "Recent changes in legislation made it necessary for Bank of America to rescind job offers it had made to students requiring H-1B sponsorship."

The number of international students affected by the BofA move is thought to be no more than 50 but business schools are concerned that other banks in receipt of Tarp funds could follow suit.

Traditionally, about a third of MBA students at the leading US schools have taken up finance and banking jobs on graduation, with about a third of those MBAs coming from outside the US. But MBA graduates have seen the number of jobs in the finance sector shrink by about 40 per cent this year.

Some supporters of freer migration have criticised the Tarp measure for threatening to cut the US off from foreign talent and encouraging tit-for-tat retaliation by foreign countries.

Business school deans are concerned about the implications and are lobbying hard for the interpretation of Tarp to be generous in regards to MBAs.

Some fear that students who have traditionally studied in the US to get a job in North America may go elsewhere. "There might be an inclination for people from around the world to vote with their feet," says David Schmittlein, dean of MIT's Sloan school of management in Boston.

That would be a further blow to US business schools, which are trying hard to internationalise their student body and curriculums. This year the credit crunch meant that many international students, who do not have access to US federal loans, were unable to raise the financing to embark on a two-year US MBA, resulting in a drop of up to a 20 per cent in applications.

“提升自己的能力才是根本  企业都需要真正能创造value的人 ”－这是王道，赞这句！有这份信心，再有好的执行，相信接下来的征途上你一定可以如愿以偿的。很多的申请者和在读者，也正是需要多听到这样的评论，得到如此的信心和启示。大家相互鼓励共赴美好前程。

以下是引用QDJY78在2009-3-9 11:34:00的发言：                                                                                  MBA是锦上添花 不是雪中送炭 关键还是提高自己实力为本 仅仅依靠一个商学院的牌子长远来说是不行的 即使经济好的时候 依靠学校的牌子毕业能有一份不错的工 但是将来也是发展不起来 早晚还是被淘汰

因此应该I-CENTERED的，经济形式好不好 应该不是考虑的主要问题 考虑了也没有用 因为不是你我可以左右的 提升自己的能力才是根本 只要是人才 我想危机不危机的 企业都需要真正能创造value的人  而不是有一种搭车的心态 靠宏观环境的好坏决定自己的前途

这才是强迫自己问问WHY MBA的时候.

是的，我想在美国的中国人也不是一开始就抱着聚团心理去的，多半也是因为日积月累不能融入美国主流社会和文化，才慢慢聚成自己的小圈子。不能否认，欧洲人、澳洲人、甚至南非、印度人在英美文化认同上都要更优于亚洲人。中国人必须更努力的去学习，去适应才能达到本土人天生就有的优势。我不清楚在国外的日韩民族表现的怎么样，但是身为中国人，确实是时候该建立起我们的信心了。

不过，年轻一代的中国人在追求成功的时候心理上也起了一些变化。父母那辈去美国，一心求学，然后辛苦工作，可以十几年不回国。为求一个美国梦，身边夫妻分居，孩子寄养给老人的家庭比比皆是。到了我们这一代，就更注重事业与家庭、工作与休闲的平衡了，不能说没有雄心大志，但是在面对雄心大志就要牺牲家庭、牺牲休闲时间的选择时，很多人开始思考究竟追求什么是更快乐的人生。

中国正在经历一个文化更多元，融合西方价值观（既不是全盘的拿来主义，也不是民族主义的排斥）的阶段。如果说，建国的头50年我们是在try to survive in the modern world,那么现在开始，中国人可以真正live a life了。
