Why MBA?

In one of the MBA Aspirants forum it was disheartening to see the way how most of the future managers were getting into an act of mud-slinging. But what most of us fail to see is the big picture.
There is a complete lack of vision. Education is like a long term investment for which you reap the benefits later on. If you are looking for a small term investment, a professional certification during your job might help. I do agree that the RoI is calculated while investing but in small term plans the RoI may or may not be high. It is a calculated risk which you take. Your salary is not a derivative of only one parameter (read degree from a very reputable insti) but various parameters. Your attitude, aptitude, decision making skills, communication skills, logical skills (real time and not what you do in your entrance exam) do matter when someone is paying you. Companies don't pay anyone because he/she is from IIM or IMT or Harvard, but they pay because they are going to reap benefits from your skill sets and much higher than what they are paying you.
If you have the perfect blend of the skill sets you will be paid the due salary which you deserve. MBA Aspirants do think that since they have made to a good insti, it is their right to be paid. But the organizations don't work that way. And if you have the right skill sets, you have the right and duty to show the skill sets and get what you deserve.
As far as faking of data/inflated figures are concerned every insti/organization has their own way of putting up the data and mind it they will never quote wrong figures, but its in the eyes of the analyzer that how he interprets the data. Data Interpretation is very much important for doing the research on which insti/organization to join. Don't go by the sentiments and put in your own research work to find out what's best for you.
Grow up people!!! Don't be like a child who is always spoon fed. You have every right to go according to your taste and choice.
