most of these b-schools are sponsored by corporates themselves, so there's no way they are going to fund their own competitors.
see the subjects that are taught: OB, HR, Finance, Marketing etc etc... all geared to make young people into naukars, never how to create the kinda wealth needed to break free of all rubbish make-believe that is made to entrap young minds.
fair enough that even the middle-class passouts need that kind of security to tide over their mindsets and immediate financial constraints, but what is Sorely missing is the teaching that ONLY when an entrepreneur faces Highly risky situations can he hope to create a Highly succesful competitive work environment which has his own distinctive personality flavour...

you are right - the skills required are totally different. but i hope these failures dont discourage you. the heights of success are achieved by climbing the stairs of failure... the more of them you climb, the higher you reach. on each floor there is an Entire universe of possibilities. it all depends on how high and up to which floor you really want to go..

Punit, Thanks for the message. Your comments have added a new dimension to the discussions. Some skills can be taught while some have to be learned. Schools (B-Schools or other) have a limited scope and are platforms for sharing what is 'known'. Only life can provide opportunities where we can risk the 'unknown' and chart out new paths which can become case studies for the future. This does not mean we should shut down all schools. It is simply beyond their scope. The best schools can do is to encourage us to apply our minds and develop the problem solving abilities (very much like an aircraft simulator). Precisely put, B-schools have a purpose but that is not all that it takes for being successful.
