I still remember the day I decided to do “BBA.”

My mother wasn’t happy.

I was confused between EEE and BBA. My family was heartbroken when she realized I was choosing BBA. That week was a nightmare.

Eventually, I went for a Bachelor in Business Administration with a major in marketing, then did my MSc in Digital Marketing.

Life turned out okay.

But I think I’m one of the lucky ones.

See, there’s a major problem in Bangladesh that most people don’t even realize.

We see education through the lens of jobs—which is completely the wrong way to look at it.

Education is a tool to learn, not a tool to get a job.

People should not learn things just to get jobs.

People should learn because they enjoy learning, because they crave knowledge.

But unfortunately, that’s not how it works in Bangladesh (or most of South Asia).

If you ask someone why they’re doing an engineering degree, chances are, the answer won’t be “because I love engineering.”

Even if they say it, the real reason is usually something else.

They think an engineering degree will help them get a job—because they’ve seen it happen before. Maybe with a big brother, a family member, or someone they look up to.

And that’s a terrible way to choose an education. It needs to change.

I could blame nearly every university and degree program (even STEAM ones) for this mess they’ve created over the past two decades.

But if I had to pick one, I’d go straight for business schools.

Business schools should have led the way in teaching business and entrepreneurship to Bangladeshi students. Instead, they went in a completely different direction.

They started training students to become mediocre managers.

Here’s how the system works:

1. Someone finishes A Levels or HSC.
2. They join a BBA program—not because they care about what they’ll learn, but because they think it will help them get a job.
3. Universities teach them basic, common-sense topics (What is marketing? How to do basic accounting?).
4. They graduate. And whether they get a job depends on what they did outside the classroom.
5. Eventually, they learn real skills on the job—the same skills the university should have taught in four years.

It’s a 100% useless degree with no real-world value.

And to make it worse, universities don’t even guarantee a job.

Think about it:

You’re paying 5-10 lakh BDT to an institution, spending four years of your prime youth. They’re teaching you things you could learn from GPT or YouTube in two months. And after all that, they don’t even guarantee you a job.

That sounds like a straight-up scam.

And sadly, it’s been going on for decades.

And it’s not stopping anytime soon.

So I launched a business school of my own which you can apply to from here. I only take around 50-100 people every year and 100% of them get funding + mentorship + support from me & my team to start their business or if they don’t want to start a business then I offer them jobs.

My vision is a world where people will stop pursuing useless degrees and do what actually makes them happy.

Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction.
