The ambition of every MBA candidate is to secure a respectable degree, obtain a solid position and earn a good salary. However, at the moment, a post that tells the opposite story is becoming viral. The story of a man who actually sold his property, invested Rs. 18 lakhs in an MBA school and is now earning Rs. 28,000 per month after all that effort.
After Pankaj Arora, a user on X, posted about a family that reportedly spent Rs. 18 lakh on their son’s MBA schooling, the debate started. Arora says that after being persuaded by guarantees of successful corporate careers and profitable placements, the parents sold property, borrowed money and made major sacrifices.
He stated that the graduate now resides in a different city, makes Rs. 28,000 per month and is still struggling with basic living costs. In contrast, the college’s proprietor looked to have improved his fortune with a BMW, according to Arora. He contended that higher education is becoming more of a business in which households invest a lot of money without assurance of a profit.

Many say that it is quite accepted that such a situation does exist. Many families sacrifice everything for their children’s education, but eventually the output seems different and more shocking.
