There is usually a huge difference in the expectations and the on-ground reality for most MBA grads when it comes to management education. This is about a love story that every guy imagines.. A love story that "could have been".. A love story called management education.
MBA is like a brothel. You never really get the chance to fall in love. Fall in love with a subject or with a concept. There is so much focus on developing the managers of tomorrow that any indulgence that you display is only going to get back at you. Real Hard! Falling in love with a subject is only going to make sure that you love the others lesser than they deserve. Only a little love (Read: Time) is available for all the subjects put together. How you distribute is your headache. Some might enjoy finance more than marketing and some, economics over operations.
So the most optimal (Focus of optimality is on the marks rather than the understanding) is often the "one night stand". You barely look at her the whole term and the night before the exam, you cuddle her, cajole her and finally get her into bed with you. Now comes the best part.. Ditch.. Flee from the scene.. Never to look back.. Never to remember what she was like.
There are people who begin to develop crushes and flings. They typically spend enough "extra" time on one affair that the others would have taken offense by then and hence decreasing his overall pleasure gained (Read: GPA). The topper of course gets the distinction of being the Casanova. He manages to seduce not one but all of them at the same time. For those of you who aren't satisfied with the one night stands, there is always the Ph.D. :)
