Too early?
Friday, July 07, 2006
It seems the average age at the top MBA programs tends to range from 27 to 29. I'm hypothesizing that I will be one of thousands of other arrogant foetuses who think that a bachelor's degree and a handful of years at a consulting firm or i-banking firm is more than enough to go to
Seriously though, while I may not readily have the best reasons for why I want to go to an MBA program now, I really don't have any reasons for why I should wait a couple more years, other than, "It would make my application more competitive." Am I wasting my time and money?
I have coworkers who are starting to hit their mid-30s who have contemplated business school, but state that they can't afford to take a $150K hit, plus the lost wages for 2 years of not working thanks to families and such. So, they merrily continue a job that pays well in dollars, but rather poorly in sanity and mental health. That is troublesome and seems like a pretty damn good reason to apply now.
