the audacity of MBAs

Transcript

You will never be able to convince me that getting an MBA does not mentally change you. Because why am I in a group chat right now with two of my girlfriends and we are all talking about how we need jobs because we do, but I am like wait a second, hold on Alyssa, you just signed a $3,000 a month lease with no real tangible income quote unquote insight. My other friend, she just threw a party that probably cost her well over $10,000 and she just signed a two bedroom lease, no job secured. And then my other friend, no job secured, just got back from gallivanting in Paris for two weeks with her boyfriend. MBA is not a real place because these type of decisions, where does anybody else get that level of audacity other than being around a bunch of delusional people like MBAs.
