[GE is not for slackers like us.]
[Hi, I'm Anna and we're here on campus to talk to some]
[MBA and graduate students about their upcoming careers]

[responsibilities and they can make big decisions.]
[That's kind of ridiculous, right?]

[Hey! You look like you're working too hard. ]
[I think that most students here, they want to make a difference and]
[they want to have some type of impact. ]
[That's why we're here at MBA school, to make an impact. ]
[Yikes! That's hardcore. It is. ]
[These people are like from a different planet than me. ]

[where you sit at a desk and eat candy bars?]
[I don't think that's consistent with the MBA mentality. ]
[Yeah, but like, work? Come on, there's ways of getting around work. ]
[Attention, attention, you're working too hard. ]
[You kind of sound like a slacker. ]
[Whoa! Wouldn't it be easier to just, ]
[It's not fulfilling, it's not fun, it's not interesting.]
[You're going to be bored, you're not going to make as much money, ]
[and at the end of the day you're just kind of going to look back and be like, "Eh."]

[these 2-year training programs. ]
[They put you in these positions where you're expected to sort of make these big]
[decisions really early, and, like, they empower you to do that.]

[and ability to make decisions.]
[It should make you feel good about yourself being in that sort of a position,]

[being part of this elite training program.]
