"88% of graduates say they were happy with the investment they made."
Of course you will rationalize your decision and you will say you are happy after sinking so much money in! Can you imagine answering something else? The minute you were accepted you were 'happy with your decision' and you crafted and told yourself a nice narrative.
I'm sure there is tangible ROI for a lot of MBA graduates, but the question whether they are 'happy' is simply biased.

- Crake 14y agoLiving in denial and rationalizing obviously irrational/destructive choices is one of the things that bothers me most about humanity. When we finally go extinct, this will probably be a major if not THE major reason why. :/
