Value of an MBA

Some interesting contrasting views on the value of an MBA!
NY Times vs WSJ!!

Life in different cities!

When i consider my choices and places to live in...
I went with the job that I loved the most - I would not say that I like the place too much - to paraphase a comparison from (Bos/SF/Lon/NY) to where I live:
From a historic city with a gorgeous diverse populace in a thriving walking metro and a melting pot of cultures, to a static, money-oil-driven collection of concrete with a lack of a coherent populace and disjoint societies?


Oh well - it is not that bad but it does make you wonder!!!

Are we part of this crazy new revolution or are we just normal kids?

What is the true calling of a nation?

What is the true measure of progress and how can you call a country developed/developing when others look at our insights while we ignore the very same?

Redundancy in life is key for me:
I am not one to take a massive risk without a fall-back or failsafe.
Here was my heirarchy for post-high school: US top tier, UK top tier, US tier 2, UK tier 2, India tier 2, India tier 3, redo!
Then it got refined after 3.5 years at UT Austin to become (for graduation)
post graduation plans (business- consulting=#1... engineering consulting #2, backup grad school #2.5(if top tier) Engineering general #3, Boring Engineering #4, backup extra sem in school #5, backup extra year out of school searching for job #6, backup grad school #7 (rank 5-15) , + back up Singapore work #8, back up India - school/work #9)

Then now, as the H-1 B visa junk starts to show up,
If for some reason, I don't get it:
best case, i work in UK at the office there,
2nd, i might go work in Bahrain,
3rd might go to some other country with same firm
4th off to some other country with different firm....
5th just go to grad school after chilling at home for a while.
6th start something entrepreneurial.
Phew... enough redundancy?
;)
I wonder if others do the same with their lives?
