James Tsai is the sort of MBA corporate recruiters covet. He went to a good prep school, earned a degree with honors from Middlebury College, and made vice-president in Bank of America's international wealth management group at the age of 26. Today, Tsai is about to graduate, straight A's in hand, from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, a top-rated program in America. And he's hustling to land his first post-MBA job — in China.
The lives of the MBA's interviewed in this article bear no resemblance whatsoever to those of ordinary Americans.
In other words, this article has nothing to do with 99.99% of the population.
The following reader comment from today's NYT is illuminating in its insights about these top-flyte MBA's:
Quote:
America has been suffering under the "ethics" of those who have gutted the nation's productive capacity -- exported it, out-sourced it, off-shored it -- millions of jobs just gone. Can't now have education, or health, or other government services when most everyone knows millions will never go to work again. Can't pay for services when America is in the process of being turned into another third-world place where too many have no work.
Good persons posting "comments" here have said over and over the many good, productive things Americans could do. But there's no leadership for it in high places. The Peace Prize prez has gotten himself snookered into more-war-all-the-time -- zero peace initiatives from him anywhere in the world. His staff appointments show him uninterested in any reform of the frauds built into Wall Street.
Congress -- no better. Schools -- serving the corporate interests -- or, in the case of Texas, also serving ideologue fanatics.
And meanwhile kids keep signing up for the same biz school classes that feed the amoral corporate interests that sold out America. So what do you suggest -- closing down all the biz schools? Can't. The U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United says all that amoral, cynical, fabricated personhood ever being manufactured, lobbyied for, and paid off is now supreme law of the land. And the "persons" who've learned to think and see this way will never, never, never see or feel the pain about which you -- and lots of us -- have been writing and writing.
China wants its own set of dumb paper execs to topple their economy.
He worked for BoA! Must be a keeper because they're a great corporation!
