It is possible to go to a top MBA program w/o work experience. I have seen a friend who is doing the JD/MBA at 21 at Columbia. Nothing is impossible! (:

There is no way you can get into a top MBA program without work experience. I agree with you though that business school after a few years in Wall Street is good.

Smart students start their own business and will not be someone else’s crony

Dear -admin- (at Salary .sg) (February 26th, 2008 at 10:20 pm) –

Thank you for clarifying your personal stance on the post.
I’m gratified that it was a financial challenge, issued to those who have the potential, and possibly the will and interest.
It’s also comforting to learn, that some choose other roads truly their own.

Thank you too, for responding to my first reply on this blog;
in particular to a post written last year.
Please keep up the honest efforts!

fynyx, thanks for your comments on this site. To respond to your comment above,
1) No, I do not assume that. I was merely giving them a financial challenge.
2) Yes, they have the potential, especially in countries like ours which give them too many opportunities.
3) No, I do not assume that. I’ve met some very smart people who deliberately choose not to be there.

Dear Salary .sg,

Your post advice assumes that smart students are of one type only:

1) They will do anything and everything for lots of money and high status.

2) They definitely have potential for high FQ (Financial Quotient).
After all, you did mention in another post that ‘High IQ does not equal Wealth’:

3) There is only one place for them: at the very top socio-economic class, isolated within their much smaller community, away from the majority of people.
In Singapore, this would likely mean disconnecting greatly from heartlanders.

I wish this lucky minority great happiness in their exclusivity.

June, sorry to burst your bubble, but my honest advice for you is to continue to work hard and work smart in your current job and perhaps do a related part-time degree / postgrad course.
