Well if I was just interested in one thing, that would make life pretty boring yeah?

I see your thoughts about your career goal, and I understand your hesitation to present a goal in an industry in which few recruit from MBAs... But you need to find a goal where it does make sense and is desire in the industry, and even if there isn't a history of employers for the school, still you only need one right? ;) Plus, I think the advantage gained from having unique goals that are logical totally outweighs the consideration of their common recruiters.

One more thought: At this point in your life you don't have to KNOW for sure what you will actually do (anyway B-school will change that), what you DO have to know is what you are going to write in your essays... And what you actually do and what you write don't have to be the same things.
