I’m halfway through my second semester at MBA school and one thing is becoming fairly apparent.   MBA programs seem to be entirely geared to creating worker drones than independent thinkers.   The course work I’ve had so far has not been challenging but rather tedious.   From calculating statistical ratios to creating common size statements and analyzing balance sheet statements to writing management reports on mundane topics with narrow scopes have all proven to be fairly useless in my line of work.

I honestly feel sorry for the young kids in there thinking that they are learning valuable skills for their future roles as executives because they’re not teaching much beyond how to be a worker drone accountant or worker drone low level manager or worker drone analyst.   My conundrum is that I’m addicted to low cost nearly interest free student loans otherwise I’d bail out.    My other conundrum is that employers want to see this degree on resumes which is the biggest farce ever!

I’ve decided that I will definitely not take any summer classes since I plan on taking a long vacation to Europe or elsewhere this summer.   I need a break from all the tedious and pointless busy work.
