B-School bums

Two fresh graduates from IIM, B'lore are peeved to no end. Their grossly overpaid salaries have gone public, which is a standard practice in every Indian daily. Why are they irritated at this?
Is it because
a) They'd be expected to hand out loans to everyone they rub shoulders with?
b) They expected to settle down in the Cayman islands after working for a decade, drowned in opulence?
c) Potential robbers lurk everywhere?

All answers apply. And they rightfully deserve it. Being blessed with an analytical brain and perseverance does not justify a $193,000 job. Being paid $16,000 every 31 days without the perfunctory 'experience' is like winning a lottery. But we shouldn't blame them. Barclay's feels absolutely OK with the salary they offer. Theres no problem in that.

But why crib when you get the cake and get to chomp it too? Any half brained dimwit knows that all grads get humongous salaries. It's only a matter of time before they are hunted down by their relatives. As soon as they get their offers, they leave, never to return except for the 3 day annual leave which they grant themselves.

In effect they're pissed at the fishing net thrown far and wide by the press for non-entities aka far off relatives to pull at their wrinkle free shirts.

Three cheers to you bums for amusing us all.
