My current MBA experience

As many of you know I am currently attending rutgers university for
MBA. Lately I have been questioning my decision to back. Questioning
if I picked the right time to go back and if I had picked the right
school.

First let's adress the school, rutgers university is where I went for
my undergrad and it is the college choice in my hometown of
Piscataway. I have mad love for rutgers, some of my greatest memories
took place at rutgers (mainly the bars at rutgers). Also it was the
place where my intelect was jumped started. Through some of the
quackiest yet most genius professors my ability to think critcally and
intensly was brought to life. I loved rutgers as an undergrad but I am
hating it as a grad student. Specifically the rutgers business school.
So far my fellow students are far from impressive. No one is doing any
thing amazing to my knowledge or working for companies that impess me.
Language, I'd feel a lot better with my school if they had a minimum
communication standard (engrish). You know who I'm talking about,
smart ass people on paper but challenge them to have a conversation
and they are all thumbs. And how about alittle bit of character, yea I
have yet to meet anyone with any type of personality or character.
It's a rare and sad day when I can honestly say I am the coolest dude
in the room. So in a nut shell these guys are straight herbs.
Now let's talk about the professors, one dude was pretty cool, he got
his phd from rutgers and did some work at the university of Chicago
(that school is pretty big willy among academics). After him the 3
other profs i have had have been no bodies in my eyes. One taught how
to write in a business style of writing, no grounding breaking there.
My marketing prof doesn't even have her phd, I mean that right there
is pretty wack. All she does is read slides off to us in various tones
to convey empahsis. Someone should tell her to stop waisting her time
trying to get a phd, it will be a waist of her time. "I have never
heard of the 5th P but..."(she continues to read the slide). I mean
come on don't try to teach some thing you don't know about nor believe
in.

As far as time goes, I'm questioning if now is the right time to be in
school. Maybe I should be considering advancing my career instead of
advancing my academics. A lot of my peers have been making some big
power moves in their careers and I'm starting to feel like I'm missing
out. My only solice is that I know when I do graduate I can expect a
seriouso jump in my career and demand a seriouso salary.

Judging from my length of writing it is easy to see that my
disatisfaction stems from my school. All these people that surround me
seem to come from the same mold. How the hell did I ever get accepted?
Maybe all they wanted was my tution money, I'd hate to think they
accepted me cause I fit their imagine of the ideal rutgers business
school student. I want to stand out in this business world, these guys
want to fit in harder than they already do. I got big willy dreams,
these suckas got big cubicle ambitions. Maybe it's my fellow
classmates that bother me the most.

I apologize for any typos I typed this post on my iPhone... During
class.
