MGL..Bro you are being stupid. If you want me to cite actual people who ran hot dog stalls or do you actually understand what is meant by a general point. And this is the future of African or Pan African radicalism in Britain. God help us...Bro if you were so smart you would not be in this argument..would you. The argument is about many companies and top business leaders not only starting from small or bottom up to know their business but preferring people from that kind of background.

I gave you several examples and one book on top of my head if you know anything about business education you would have heard of Peters and Waterman and the examples and references in their book.

The HSBC example is of a similar type in sofar as they want people with basic education but appropriate characteristics...Not MBAs..Return the point back to its point of origin and where we started this discussion. Given that a basic degree really qualifies you for very little other than read, write, research and think at a minimalist level but not the crucial component in a business education or apprenticeship.

When you were actually arguing that an MBA prepares you for whatever, when it is clear to me you neither know much about business theoretically or run one to come with them fool fool arguments..I have two girl cousins with MBAs one from Harvard and one from City Uni in London. They did not get their senior positions because of it, but because of the practical business experience they had working with and for me...Both of them grew up working in our family shops and businesses back home as kids.Hence why they have their jobs and most of their other MBA friends are out of work or gone abroad to look work.

Stop acting like a fool. The notion that there are not business people who start small and prefer people coming up that way as BL said if you read biographies and autobiographies many big business people want their kids to go through the same system...The fact that you do not know this shows me you have no business in serious discussion and then have the front to tell man give you an example...Then you concede oh those practices existed one time but not necessarily now. Well what did I say from my first post or second post on the matter. That there is changes in corporate culture but not that does not mean these practices do not still exist and continue which is self evident in the HSBC example. Unless you are so dumb to assume that corporations are sending their people to work on hot dog vans or recruit them from there..

Go buy a good book or find or buy a friend..and stop insulting people or wanting to draw them down to your comedy level of argument...Arguments led by ego not acknowledge tend to end up one place..
