My pursuit??

As a person who has always dreamed to be entrepreneur, I thought that an MBA education would be the facilitator to achieve my long cherished goal. CAT happened and then a "b-school" without much effort or passion.
I left home with a few promises that MBA would be different than my engineering. 6 months on and I review ....have they really been different. At engineering we used to crib about catching the bus at 6 and here in the b-school we crib about class at 9. We are supposed to be managers but somehow can't manage our time well enough to finish projects on time. And then there is the eternal institute/teacher bashing. "If i was there I would be placed by now/ I don't know no shit about this subject neither does the teacher/ The education system sucks".
Then I wonder, have I taken an initiative, the forte' of a entrepreneur these 6 months. The answer comes bang on my face like a slamming door "NO". When a prof tells us OK you guys can learn this on your own..what do we do...don't understand it it's not going to come in an exam...Will a person not at times face a situation where he may require this exact same thing that we peacefully omitted
Nothing has changed from engineering. Cramming last minute,scoring reasonably, getting a degree, walk away without learning anything. A question I ask myself. Is this truly "MY PURSUIT"
