Struggling with Essays about Career Goals

Hello,

With Round 3 deadlines approaching, I am having a challenging time writing essays. Surprisingly, I have been able to come up with something for the schools with more open-ended topics (like HBS's 'what more would you like us to know?'), but the more directed essay questions, particularly involving my career goals, are very challenging.

I view sample essays and I see a lot of very specific career aspirations: someone wants to be an Associate Vice President of Information Technology for a top Pharmaceutical firm (how oddly specific!) or they are passionate about a particular industry like the healthcare industry or private equity or the entertainment industry.

It occurred to me that I have no such career goals. I am a challenge seeker and a collector of accomplishments. I got my undergraduate degree magna cum laude, then became a military officer, then got a job at a top financial firm, then took the GMAT and scored highly. Now, I want to get into a top program which will open the doors to the next level of challenges. I am indifferent to profession and industry. I am not passionate about any; at least, I do not believe I am.

I cannot imagine that I am alone in this and so I am asking advice on how I should approach these essays?

I have considered bypassing the question but I am not sure how well that would go over. For example, I could bluntly say that I have no specific career aspirations because I want to explore, see what else is out there, and what else I can do. An MBA would give me that opportunity. Will this approach be a mistake?

Another challenging type of essay question is best represented by Booth's: "View this collection of shared Booth moments. Choose the moment that best resonates with you and tell us why." I looked at the pictures and I felt nothing. Am I supposed to feel touched or inspired? Talk about a difficult essay!

Any advice and general thoughts are appreciated!
