Any dedicated student business forums out there?

Meh that’s pretty biased. You don’t know much about real business IMO. Business education is not all about school work (deductive reasoning or breaking puzzle apart), but it’s more about experience (inductive reasoning or using blocks to build something).

I don’t disagree with you, business education works best in the context of case studies, which is why the HBS case method is as popular as it is. But there is not a single MBA program on this Earth that comes near the difficulty of the lowest ranked American medical school, even ignoring the fact that one is two year and one is four, and if you are unaware of that then “IMO” you don’t know much about business education or medical school.

TT7Truong, I can’t think of any real good student-oriented business forums. The Business Week forums are fairly robust, but poorly designed and the quality of discussion is spotty. There’s a bit about MBA careers and finding a job, but a lot of it is focused admissions. Hmm, maybe one of the first businesses you start should fill a niche that isn’t filled–namely, a forum dedicated to high quality conversation about career planning and various industries from the perspective of students?
