Three things you need to
know before going to business School

Got through the initial entrance test of Business School (BBA)? Or
should I say that you rocked your CMAT!? Either way, Congratulations!
And if you are having a hard time getting control of your life, I
am confident that my article published on Republica (Aug. 20,2014/p13) will kick start
your life again. Because, let's face it, brothers and sisters... It's me...
Been there and Done that. Don't be a rat. The problem with the rat race is that
even if you win the race, you'll still be a rat. Read my inspirational article

Now that you made it through the Central Management Admission Test
(CMAT) of Tribhuvan University, you can just sit back and relax shamelessly on
your couch. Get A Day-Dream! Not a Life, you genius! After four years of
typical class hours and lectures and wandering around the college peripherals
or Snooker House or Strip Club or … you name ‘em, then you go for a happy hour
networking internship for two months where the organizations will barefacedly
throw themselves at you, offering you a prestigious entry level minimum paying
dark-corner-desk job with maximum workload.
Trust me… I am not lying this time. Well may be little! So what
makes me in a position to tell you all this? Just trust me on this one… I have
been there and done that. Let me tell you this: Daydreams and reality are often
quite different.
Let’s get to the point, shall we? Thank you!
For those of you who are reading this post must be a BBA candidate
in one of the prestigious Business Schools under Tribhuvan University in
Kathmandu Valley. May be at Shanker Dev Campus (If you got into SDC… BRAVO!
Welcome to the Club. I’ve been there for four whole long years). Well, Kudos!
But not so fast. Here’s what you need to know before you decide on going to the
Business School to get a BBA (as well as an MBA) degree. If you’d already
enrolled in one, you will know what I mean by the time you graduate. So long
for that sh!t.
1. [Business] Schools teach the need to be taught:
We just don’t know why… We just do it! It’s like “I don’t know
what” kind of thing. One thing I have learnt from the schools, most importantly
from my recent Business School years, Schools don’t teach us anything. We learn
nothing. All that we learnt (at least for me) was that we go to school because
we have to read. Read why? Because that’s what schools are for. It’s like
arguing in circular reasoning as God wrote the Bible because it says so in the
Bible and what Bible says is true because.. GOD WROTE THE HOLY BIBLE. We
are where we started eventually. (FYI: You will come across this example on the
sixth semester of BBA. Wait for it!)
2. You will come out of the BBA Program as a machine… an outdated
freaking dull machine:
During the four years course of BBA, you all will be reading the
same book. For a particular batch of BBA, there may be hundreds and thousands
of other students (inc. other Universities) reading the same old and dusty
book. That’s funny because we are making a big mistake here! We are being
transformed into the machine with no AI, i.e. your are freaking outdated dull
machine. Why the hell hundred students have to read one book. A hundred
students can read one hundred books. That’s a simple math. Just do it!
3. Business Schools don’t solve your problem. They sell you the
problem:
Business schools do one thing perfectly. They preserve the problem
to which they are the solution. The problem is the reason they exist. Once they
solve the problem, they collapse. Simply put again, they teach the need to be
taught. They show you the dream. Then they show you your dark future implicitly
if you don’t go to the Business Schools. You don’t know what your are gonna do
with your life. Then there’s only one way out… enroll in Business Schools.
Just consider and take in account of your parents’ money spent on
learning for little or no reason… their hard earned money. How can you? That
lump sum of money and four years out of your life could be utilized in a better
way somewhere.
But you need not take my word for it. I passed BBA with the flying
colors that can get me to foreign scholarship programs. But somewhere in the
hindsight, I feel that I could have taken other courses instead of BBA, like
graphic designing or ICT, and have get somewhere better and progressive with my
life, rather than contemplating on MBA now. I am sure some of you have figured
out what you want to do with your life. But believe me, during these four
years, there will be a drastic change in your thinking. Things won’t be the
same as they are now. So you better get your @ss worked out.
Good Luck.
And remember, Formal Education makes you a living. Self-Education
makes you a fortune.
