Regular Dealbreaker readers know that we spend a lot of time around these parts having the CFA v. MBA debate. Which is most beneficial? Which is worth your time? Which has the highest NPV? Today brings a point in favor of the b-school track, courtesy of Columbia. While business school may offer more opportunities to get drunk, sleep with your fellow students, and take a break from the working world, it costs considerably more money than CFA books, requires you to go to class if you care about grades, and causes a considerable amount stress vis-à-vis going on interview and impressing potential employers. But what if we told you that there was a way to go to business school and not have to worry about all that? Would that be something you’d be interested? Would it tip the scales toward MBA in your mind? Enter, the Sponsored Student designation, wherein one’s employer pays for their schooling and keeps a job lined up for them at the end. A wildcard, if you will, in the CFA v. MBA debate. According to an informational video put together by a group of Columbia students, as a Sponsored, looking porn in class will be your “smallest transgression” (on the rare occasions you go to class), “drawing a picture of [your] dick” will be an acceptable answer on a leadership final, and “deep-diving” in someone else’s girl will count as your core competency. Let’s learn more.

I do fondly recall in business school we had a "belted" six sigma guest come in for one of our cases. He couldn't get his power point to work and had to speak extemporaneously. The results were amusing, if contrary to the intended message.
It's also possible I went to a shitty business school.
They should really do something about security on that campus.
these cbs-stern-sloan videos get better every year…thank you Final Cut Pro
Yao Ming Jersey? Come on bro…
A Dealbreaker "Gold Pass" is required to see this comment.
he appears to be asian, "bro"…
It would be funny to learn that their sponsorship was revoked after this terrible video.
Agree with the "so bad it's good" tag.
Clearly they aren't balling that hard if they didn't mention their custom designed skis.
That's the joke, bro
Way to get sponsored MBAs killed kids. Or at least make the employers demand "nuttin but Hs' beeatch".
Also – you kids were like in kindergarten when The Chronic dropped, yes?
Do people who advertise on DB bother to read the commentary section?
Moreover, what is the Click Through Rate/Success rate of the ads that are put on here?
and he was speaking another language, I'm pretty sure it was… Asian!
Daniela?! Is that you in the library?!

Today is my 47th birthday, and I could not be hating life any more, but upon viewing this video I can rest assured that younger women will always be easy pickings. I will never go lonely underestimating the lameness of generaton y and those younger.
Are you a douchebag?
Moreover, are you considering killing yourself/can I suggest you do?
Not to point out the obvious, but those are not the guys that are being sponsored.

Watched on mute, for some reason I REALLY hate the bow tie kid.
Step 1) Attend top B-school that doesn't publish grades, rank or GPA
2) ??????
3) "Yes, I do believe I finished in the top 1/5/10% of my class, Ms. Recruiter!"
dancing in front of a mini weber bbq grill is th NKI
dibs on the white chicks.
This reminds of a "movie" I made called "models behaving badly", which made my career.
You're not ballin' hard 'til you've got custom waffles.

So certain are you…
Yes.

Yeah kid looks like a dbag. I'd expect nothing less from those rich kids at CBS.
c'mon people the video is a joke! it's SUPPOSE to be a bad 90s rap video
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand . . . we have one more in the "CFA" column.
"Of all exceptions, however, the Japanese were the greatest. The Japanese undermined any analysis of our classroom culture. All six of them sat in the front row and slept. Their heads rocked back and forth and on occasion fell over to one side, so that their cheeks ran parallel to the floor. So it was hard to argue that they were just listening with their eyes shut, as Japanese businessmen are inclined to do. The most charitable explanation for their apathy was that they could not understand English…… The Japanese were a protected species, and I think they knew it. Their homeland, as a result of its trade surpluses, was accumulating an enormous pile of dollars.

Only one's who could keep up were those Koreans. Tiny fucks. But they could seriously drink.

I am one of his classmates, and he is actually a nice, friendly down-to-earth guy. He is a talented kid with a really outgoing personality — and not a d-bag at all!
You're fired.
Well that's just great, Billy! Thanks for the update!
my god…
Me too, he's great.
I am one of his classmates, and he is actually an attention whore. He is a talented dance student with the attention span of a pomeranian puppy – and a huggggge douche.
What safety?
I meant security but I heard some kids got held up for iPhones recently

Ads? Click-through rates? What Ads?
In this day and age, only ignorant losers are NOT using full Ad Blockers. Why deal with annoying ads if you don’t have to?
The kid in the bow tie is one of the hottest MBAs I have ever seen!
I am one of his classmates and I'd actually compare him to a mix between a dolphin, a lion and a British Vole. The very mention of the name is enough to strike terror into the heart. But most people have only a vague idea of the true nature of this secretive and deadly beast. The Dueche in a bowtie Appreciation Society aims to educate the masses about the ever-present threat of Bowtie insurgence and the terror that would await them under a Bowtie regime.
Many people know of the Bowtie's work in Corfu and on the Greek mainland, but few know about their international expansion plans. The worldwide tunnel systems are now near joining up for a worldwide mass attack – and now they have linked up with the enforcement otter's crime syndicate, success is almost guaranteed.
For centuries mankind's fate has been intertwined with the vast and mystical powers of the legendary Bowtie race. Voles first came to Earth in 1200 BC aboard space pod 735-B jettisoned from a passing space liner. It was voles who built the mighty pyramids, using their superior engineering prowess to create these massive structures in as little as three hours. Within these mighty shrines they entombed the last of the great cosmic vole space warrior princes who lead the vole army to victory over the hated Mongol hordes in northern Scandinavia in 1066 AD.
In Ancient Rome, Bowtie advisors were responsible for Caesar's rise to power and his reign of a thousand years. Little did the people know that he was a mere puppet of the secretive 'Dark Vole' and his followers in the Temple of Eternal Vole Supremacy who had taken a vow of world domination. There is some evidence to suggest that Caesar himself was in fact a number of voles in a large suit with an electric head.
hi zach :)
Was that supposed to be witty? Christ, give it a rest. Your video sucked and you've embarassed your school, your classmates, and yourself. Broadcasting your monumental immaturity was a GREAT life decision.

Aren't most students sponsored? In my MBA class probably like 70% – 80% of the people there were sponsored. Speaking with people at other b-schools it seems to be case everywhere.
Dude, in your exec program maybe…
Um, no. Not the case at all, particularly if you're attending any top 20 school
Are you retarded or do you just pretend to be in the comments section of the internet?
Since I think it might be the former, I'll spell it out for you: no one needed to be told the video is supposed to be a joke. Everyone gets it. My god.
PLEASE. unless you're rich, good-looking or incredibly charismatic (or the girl is desperate – which may be the case if she is older), most young women will not be interested…or will string you along for the attention/dinner/gifts….
