As I have been thinking of what to put in my essays. There is always the question that asks for post MBA plans and goals. My main career goal is to go into brand management in consumer goods for companies like Mars, Nestle, P&G , or other packaged goods.
However I also am really interested in becoming a business professor someday. My question is if mentioning becoming a business professor in my essays as a back up plan or alternate path will make it seem like I dont know what I want to do with my life and will be a turn off to Admission officers am also curious how they would view such a career goal. I know they like their graduates go and work for large companies because it helps the school look good when their grads do so, which makes me wonder if they would be less excited about a graduate aspiring to become a professor as that dosent really add to the brand value of the school.
I hope that all makes sense, any advice you could give would be great.
P.S. Do you know of schools in particular that would help get into brand management at the companies I mentioned?

I would say you want to try and avoid conflicting messages, I would focus on the brand management path you have identified. Nothing wrong with having interest in being a professor but they may see a Ph.D or some other form of non-MBA education as a better fit and I'm sure you'd want to avoid that. However you can frame your career goals in the following way
ST: Brand Management
LT: CMO or Senior Marketing Exec / Adjunct Professor at the target program teaching brand management coursework (Part Time role)
Top schools like Kellogg, Fuqua, Ross, and Booth could help you reach some of your goals in the CPG industry

gotcha. Thanks for your response. Any idea on schools outside of the top 20?
