I went to B-School about 10years ago.I remember the good times,the parties,the camaraderie.I also remember the long hours in the library,working on team projects with other keen classmates,and the sense of accomplishment at graduation.

However ,10years later,Business School missed out on a lot in terms of teaching me the skills needed to succeed in my career and life.

Here are the ten biggest lies of B-School you should protect yourself against:

1.You will be rich.My experience (and from talking to others)is that it will take you 2or 3times as long as you think it will take to succeed after Business School.So take it easy running up your student loans and credit card debts expecting you ’re going to be a rock star later.

2.You are smarter than people without an MBA.You were smart enough to get in to Business School.That doesn ’t mean you are smarter than other people without an MBA.Stay humble.

3.There ’s always a right answer.B-School students are usually very analytical and achievement-oriented.They like to think there ’s always a “best ”answer.There ’s not.The perfect answer is always the enemy of the good enough one.You make decisions you can with the best information available.Life and business today doesn ’t let you count how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.

4.If you ’ve made it this far (to B-School),you ’re destined to succeed.In my B-School,there were always amazingly talented executives coming in to give talks on business and life.They ’d always compliment us on what a great school we attended and why we had our future by the tail.It made us all feel invincible —destined to succeed once we set out on our various career paths.It doesn ’t work that way.I know B-School classmates who ’ve failed miserably,under-achieved,gotten divorced,gotten severely depressed,etc.B-School is a great educational opportunity in life,but you still have to go out there and succeed.Nothing is given to you as a birthright.

5.You know how to “fix ”the first few companies you join after school.You ’ve probably worked at companies were people who ’ve been there for 2decades roll their eyes telling you about the new hotshot MBA who just started and is now telling everyone how to do their jobs.It ’s so clear to him,yet others find it deeply offensive that he would think he knows how the company works when they ’ve spent countless years there and are still trying to figure it out.All hotshot MBAs should wear tape over their mouths for the first 3months on the job and not be allowed to “fix ”anything.

6.Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)will always tell you what a company is worth.MBAs love DCF.They think the true answer to what a company is worth is always a DCF away.Just crank it out on a spreadsheet or whiteboard,show the boss,and move on to the next problem.Unless you ’re going to be a sell-side analyst,
