What's so unreasonable about any of those statements?

The city you call home dictates a lot about your life -- friends, proximity to family, potential employers, culture -- and you're in the best position to find a second home after graduating. It only gets tougher as you get older.

As for the CV, well, he's right. Don't go somewhere or do something for the sake of improving your resume, unless you want to spend the rest of your life focusing on your job application.

Finally, as for jobs that pay you plenty of money...look at his audience. They're all MBAs. High-paying jobs aren't exactly scarce for MBAs. :)

sorry but most MBAs I know are either unemployed or sub-employed, so I don't find them a high-salaried prone population as you do. You are living in a bubble where you can get a 100k job out of school, and being broke means not being able to change cars every year. I'm not saying that the values he talks about are wrong, but that they are unrealistic given the constraints of economics for 99% of the population of the world.

Sure, good point. I know a few MBAs from great state schools who are also struggling to find work.

Regardless, his point is not that "money rains from the sky" but that people should develop the life they want, irrespective of making money. Money will generally work itself out (whether its by making money off your passion, or working to support your passion as a hobby).
