AND IF YOU DON'T GET IN WHAT WILL YOU DO OF YOUR LIFE?

Nice question.

I've been stressed out with the plans and the possibility of failure.

If I fail, then no more love. I'll apply some years later than 2009, after I'm done with setting up a family (being married with someone other than this current one).

Get the story mate?

Plan B is to find a job where I can earn more and work less know what I mean?

But not thinking of failure now... not now at least I'll fight it out to the bitter end

I wanna be the and you should too

I think,

People who don't consider them as strong candidates should have an alternative plan.

But people who are confident and who are strong never need a plan B.

haha. well.

Hey Federer, thats not what Nadal say

Good question. My "alternative" or "emergency" plan - assuming i dont do well on the GMATs OR get into any business school - is to start my own company. I've had a ton of ideas in the past, all fairly easy to implement, but with work + college, it's so tough to work them through.

One of my many goals in life, like many others, is to become financially stable. That goal will either become true if I go to business school OR if i decide to start/open my own business.

I never put all my eggs into one basket ;]

I'm looking at an MBA as a catapult that I'm putting my ass in it and yelling "PULL!". Realistically, it is a way to leapfrog and get my career going on 100 octane race gas, but enough of the metaphors.


I think I can get to where I want to be long term (Director position or better) by hard work and an extra 10+ years of slugging it though.

Well, my plan B is to probably to try to go to graduate school (or a certification program) to get certified to teach elementary school. That's actually what I got my undergrad degree in, however, at OSU you can't get certified to teach as an undergrad.

What brought me to the decision to go for an MBA instead, is the fact that I've been working for lobbyists for the past 7 years. A lot of this time was while I was in undergrad. Unfortunately, being married, I couldn't afford to go work at a daycare center part-time for minimum wage, and therefore I have no practical experience working with children.

Another factor is that I am not 22 anymore (and haven't been for several years!) and if I should spend 2 years and quite a bit of money to either go to graduate school or a certification program to get certified to teach, I would end up making less money than I am now (and also less than I was making with no degree at all).

But, it's always an option!
