Kaley Cross Warner puts a price on financial gravity in business school — 'they need to justify the thousands of hours and dollars spent'

A corporate sustainability practitioner answers Christopher Marquis's 'I Teach at a Business School. It's Time to Shut Them Down' with the mechanism she thinks it misses: cost. Marquis watched students abandon altruistic intentions for consulting and finance; Warner argues the debt is what does it, and names that pressure as the financial gravity the book describes. She chose a $3,600 nine-month programme over a two-year MBA for the same skills. The third person in two days to answer the Marquis op-ed by reaching for Incorruptible.

“Of course students are abandoning their creative business idea, leadership role in a nonprofit, or desire to align their values with their work. They need to justify the thousands of hours and dollars spent, and find the quickest way to pay off their debt.” — Kaley Cross Warner on LinkedIn
