An undergraduate once gaped and said, “Well, I have wanted to work at McKinsey since I was a kid, but now I don’t know why, and I think I may have been brainwashed.” I have heard that this is one of the rare times that students feel that they are able to let down their guard and be more open; to admit the difficult and shameful truth to each other, that they did not come into this world wanting to be an investment banker (or similar), and they are often amazed to hear that others feel the same.
Isang undergraduate beses gaped at sinabi, “”Well, kami ay nangailangan ko na magtrabaho sa McKinsey dahil ako ay isang kid, ngunit ngayon ay hindi ko alam kung bakit, at sa tingin ko ako ay maaaring brainwashed.”” Narinig ko na ito ay isa sa sa mga bihirang pagkakataon na mag-aaral pakiramdam na sila ay able sa ibinababa ang kanilang mga bantay at maging mas bukas; sa aminin ang mahirap at nakakahiyang katotohanan sa bawat isa, na hindi nila dumating sa mundong ito kulang na isang investment banker (o katulad), at sila ay madalas na amazed na marinig na iba pakiramdam ang parehong.
