Nice things Scary things

Nice things
when you do lots of psychometric testing and are constantly coming up with results that tell you that you really need to go and be an entrepreneur otherwise you'll never be happy.

Scary things
(i) Observing 100 MBA alpha males in dark business suits lined up in a perfect line 2 by 2 queuing to enter the BCG recruitment presentation. Reminded me of the Daleks.

(ii) Going to an investment banking presentation and being told that 8-9PM are really easy hours (which strictly speaking they are compared with 8-3AM).

OK Dude, you tell me, is there any real practical reason for the 8-3AM thing apart from showing that you have a really big tonker and that you work really hard hence the ridicolously large salary?

Inquiring minds. And FYI, academia here, 10 am-8pm.

You're doing an MBA, and all the tests say you should be an entrepreneur. Who'd have thunk it?

..they're not going to tell you you should be a bin man!

What's the ratio of entrepreneurs to career managers/consultants?....roughly! i.e. do you have a wide selection of like-minded individuals from which to choose your friends or is there more of a siege mentality?
