According to your experience, what is capability in a corporate environment?
You said that the most useful knowledage and capbility are those enable you standing out in a company.
However, no one is a superman with all sorts of capabilities.
You work in an engineering company with all the engineering expertise, while those who can climb corprate ladder really fast do not even know what is engneering.
Does that mean they are more capable than you? I reckon that it is just a different skill set.
No excuse, however, luck sometimes can play a significant part in human life.
And you also menion that the ability to be able to stand out among crowds is coming naturally.
I do not agree. You can learn solid technical skills and you can also learn people skills through life.
I do not like the term ' naturally born with'.
One can be succussful in his early twenties, others may be able to shine when they are 50.
Too may examples to list here.
In conclusion, some people may learn so much through doing a MBA. MBA can be one of the tools for some people to learn those soft skills. Even a MBA education did not bring you a success right after, it is worthy the experience doing something you are passionated about. I alwasy think doing a MBA is a investment to yourself. The investment may give you a high return or be a complete loss. You are an adult, you take the responsibility and risk.
I respect my bosses, most of them, not all. They are intelligent. I can also spot the strength from my colleagues. We are clients to most companies, so I do not know much about clients. The company i work for is acyually managed very well. Share price is rising all the time, lol.
I still think of doing a MBA. just something different. Having said that, it does not mean I will definitely do it. I will go for another better opportunity if there is one.
You always go extreme, thinking everyone here is unrealistic dreamer or loser
To be honest, if I were the boss, I would prefer employees like this. Unfortunately, the world is not filled with people like this. It is almost perfect human being to behave like that. You sound like utopian.
