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.

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.
