Would you continue to work or go for another graduate degree?

I've thought about Med School , but I decided I didn't want to be in school/residency for that long. I would probably continue to work.

I will leave my job and open a school for poor kids. Already, I'm partially involved in the tsunami hit poor children and giving them opportunity to grow! If I couldn't make into good B-school, I'll leave my job and will become full time social worker.

Hey very inspiring!!! it seems you're more interested in (social) entrepreneurship and your target school is also relevant to your future career choice...Good going. :)

think other way ...Use your tsunami related social work as strong point in your app...Top B Schools crave for students involved in these kinda social work...so chances are good that you'll get into good bschool.
