GMAT 680, applied to only one school - Kelley PT (because employer pays 100% tuition), accepted.
Deep IT background (15 years now).
Now the question - I have three choices for majoring : Supply Management, Stategic Management or Finance.
I will be 41 when I graduate. If I pick Finance, do I have a good shot at a career switch this late? Any other inputs on making the choice welcome...

from what i've read, changing careers out of a part time gig is going to be extremely tough, especially given your age. i'd try to focus on one of the other 2 concentrations.
out of curiosity, what part of finance were you hoping to break into? i'd imagine with your expertise, adding an MBA would make you a good bet for a consulting gig as opposed to a finance one. in that case, maybe the strategic management concentration might make more sense. just my thoughts though

strategic mgmt would be ideal for your profile imo.
i don't see why you'd even want to get into finance with the type of high stress lifestyle they have. i certainly don't want to be working 90 hr weeks in my 40's. the pay really isn't worth it at that point.
