He’s probably celebrating more that he’s done than anything else. Part-time MBA even at a bad school plus work would leave little time for anything else.
Also, there are plenty of people out there with mediocre degrees who accomplish a lot. Thirty years from now if you’re running Citadel and he’s running a car wash, then I can understand the criticism. He’s got plenty of time to make something of himself.
@OP, So let me get this straight; you’re wasting your time trolling around facebook then you hop on AF and waste our time to complain about some guy you feel is wasting his time.
OK, got it, it all makes sense now!

This kid is a joke. He’s 25. He still hasn’t posted his “credentials” yet and is a failure on free online dating sites.
Lets all just chill. Iteracom’s a cool guy and adds a lot of value. Not to mention the inherent irony in your post there infinitybenzo. I think his point was much more benign than people are making it out to be from their soap boxes.

Black Swan is now the model of maturity on this forum. Is this real life? What is the world coming to?
I don’t see anything wrong with mediocrity. All you d-bags on here with your type-a personalities can suck my big fat lack of work ethic.
Go ahead, go get another promotion, I don’t give a damn. Did you make VP? Big whoop! Do you work for Goldman, well Mazeltov buddy! I still don’t care.
I’m gonna be balls deep in Eastern European strange, taking naps, and getting drunk followed by more strange, this time from Brazil. I’m gonna have Russian for Breakfast, French for Lunch, and Brazilian for Dinner. Now and then I’ll order a late night curry or chinese. I’m gonna create an army of illigitimate little chicken tikkas in every country with strange worth having. I’m gonna do this until I die in bed with a woman one quarter my age.
Where are you gonna be? With your fatass wife, if she doesn’t divorce you and take half your assets, unable to get an erection because years of stress and hard work has aged you prematurely. You won’t remember the last time you got a decent lay, the last time you felt free, the last time you woke up with a sturdy erection.
I feel bad for you perfectionists.

I thought if was a pretty interesting question. Anything we do can be viewed as mediocre by someone who is more successful at that thing. So, we need to come up with subjective definitions of success.

Lol, I thought the same thing. This is not a good look for me. Don’t worry, I’m sure mean reversion will kick back in any minute now.
OP, post your LinkedIn profile link here so we can see your amazing resume. As for me, I am only a mediorcre so I try not to judege others out loud. But the OP seems to be above the mediorcre and I want to be impressed that is all.

Good luck with your plan. Let us know how it’s working out when you’re 50 (assuming you live that long). Out of curiosity, when do you plan to start targeting “women” 1/4 your age? I’m thinking there aren’t too many 15 year olds interested in the withered up junk of 60 year old womanizers.

Nice! living the dream, hopefully it makes you happy.
I was skimming along facebook and see this guy smiling as he was holding up his MBA degree he just got from a really sh*tty school. Rank 89 out of USNews business school rankings. And to throw more poo on it, it took him 5 years to get. So apparently it was a part-time MBA.
Seriously, why? I don’t get it. I would be embarrased.
And no, this guy isn’t poor or from some ghetto minority. Relatively slightly upper middle class, decent schooling person.
Why do people do this?
Sometimes this is the best that people can do, and depending on where they came from, it can be worth celebrating. In other cases, people that have grown up in relatively insular environments aren’t aware of their mediocrity. Thirdly, sometimes what separates great to incredible is a matter of milliseconds (100m and 200m races) or hitting one more home run per week (Brady Anderson’s spectacular 1996 season when he hit 50 home runs, when his seasonal average through the rest of his career was closer to 20), and sometimes being great is good enough for most people.
Lastly, and in this case – I”m guessing the guy you’re talking about wants to share his life with others and Facebook offers him a free open podium for that. He can validate the major investment he’s made for the last couple of years, not to mention there are some chicks and broski’s in his life that will be impressed. You can always ask him why he feels the way he does, though I make no promises that he won’t be offended :)
Wow. I really didn’t expect this type of response. It actually makes for an interesting psychological study. Again, I’m not going to give up details of my identity, there is 0 benefit for me to do so. I frankly could not care less if you think I’m actually a 17 yr old un-educated homeless kid in Haiti that eats mud pies (oh pardon me, does that offend someone too?) I’m also way past 25, Blake is filled with BS because he not only discredits any facts, but he makes them up.
Some of you have blown this way out of proportion, and chances are it’s because you are angry or offended on the inside. This thread likely touched a nerve with some of you and is clearly eliciting the emotional response. infintybenzo, I find it hilarious you think I’m the “angry” one. Which post did I show any type of anger? hint: none. Some of you say I’m ‘sad and depressed’ and ‘angry’, seriously? look inside yourself, because that may be how you feel, not me.
You want to know what I find valuable? If this kid graduates from this crummy school, recognizes he’s behind the curve, keeps himself in check, and works incredibly hard to make himself valuable and proves his worth. When he achieves that, then he earned the right to gloat. 5 yr part time MBA ranked 98th? sorry, that doesn’t cut it in my book.
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and greatest weakness.

You definitely sound bitter, and conceited, you’ve wasted alot of energy taking out a strip of some other guy you probably don’t even know that well. Normal, happy people don’t do that, if you were actually secure in yourself, you wouldn’t give a fuck about this guy.
re-read what you wrote calmly, and you’ll realize you sound way more bitter. I’m chuckling as I type this. yea typing a few threads sure wastes a lot of energy.. a whole 30 seconds from the bathroom. and pain and crying? sure, from ROFLAO
Seriously, if you want to talk down someone, use your left toe to think if what you’re saying even remotely makes sense. The fact this is being hammered so deeply, obviously means I touched a nerve. I didn’t say anything negative to this guy and didn’t reveal who he is either. You want to have a legit discussion like some people have done, then good, but if you’re going to get emotional about it, then all reason goes out the window. It obviously has, so I’m done.
Rant and trash talk all you want, I won’t check this thread anymore.
