WOW, I am flabbergasted at how many superficial people there are on GS. Just WOW. I feel that (and I'm going to go into mullah mode here) it is entirely up to the Lord how successful you are. You have to work hard, you have to have the right intentions, and He provides the rest. Just open the Good Book and see how many references there are to the fact that God gives in EXACT measure to EVERYONE. I feel that ultimately success/failure is controlled by how RIGHTEOUS you are instead of where your degrees are from.
He gives to whomever He wills and withholds from whomever He wills, regardless of degrees. I'm pretty much of the opinion "Allah Maalik".
Oh and PCG, if you keep judging people on spellings and over analyzing every guy you talk to, you will never settle down, everyone has flaws. I feel like you focus more on someone's flaws than on their good qualities. You expect perfection, which is not easy to get unless you are perfect yourself.
It's not about where his education is from, etc.
It's that a guy tells me he is an MBA, then spelling and structuring his sentences worse than a high school grad, it tells me he is probably lying about the MBA.
That's the worst way to start off a relationship. With a lie. My best friend went through that - dude told her he was a doctor, and turned out he was unemployed and she finds out after the marriage and the honeymoon.
Comon man. That's ridiculous. Yet, Pakistanis are notorious for sprucing up their rishtaa cv's.
pcg your 'concern' was addressed by a lot of ppl, which maybe you ignored. a few examples to refresh your memory
PCG, this is very common. Ive noticed sooo many people who are in IT or in technical fields do not know how to spell properly to save their life. It has nothing to do with their education level...more to do with what they're good at. Plenty of people get through MBAs and PhDs with poor spelling. Spelling doesnt mean intelligence...at least not now when you have MS Word to correct your spelling for you.
Ive also noticed English teachers have the worst writing...ironic but true.
MBA = running a business (or something business related) ...........running a gas station= running a business........running a gas station = having a MBA
That is what goes on through their heads
Poor English of desis has less to do with which school they graduated from but where they started from. If your primary education was in Urdu Medium, you could pass through MBA in flying colors but you may have poor communication skills.
In the business world what matters are the results. I have a friend who has an MBA from Jamshoro University in Hyderabad in Finance and she is taking $20,000 take home pay every month! I myslef have an MBA from a lower ranked school and myCEO told my Wharton University MBA boss to leran how to write a business letter frrom me.
if your boss went to 'wharton university' then your CEO has bigger problems with your boss than he realizes ;)
Results matter, and if someone is driving profit, volume and share etc, the fact that the person can not write business letters well means nothing, they can always hire underlings to do that.
I had significantly better presentation skills than my SVP, something he openly said to me and to others..but his focus was growing and competing in a dynamic multibillion dollar business, working on client or industry presentations was not his strong suite and as he assembled his team he brought people who supplemented different areas and thus had a strong team to help him meet his goals. I had better cross cultural/international interaction/negotiation abilities and he often leveraged me for global commercialization or product positioning, but there was a reason he was in the role that he was.. and was successful.
as you said, results mattered, and he delivered results, even if he was not great at presenting or leading discussions
