MBA on the Horizon

I sort of dropped off the face of the earth for awhile there, at least the blogging earth. Sorry about that. I try not to get too personal (or detailed) on this blog about specifics, but suffice it to say that I work for one of the companies that has been splashed around in the media quite a bit lately, and not in a good way.

Everything is fine and I feel secure in the job and in my future employment prospects, but it required my full attention for awhile and as a result, I have been a bit MIA.

But things have calmed down (or maybe I'm just used to it) and I'm back in the saddle, as it were. Time to get serious about GMAT studying...that's the first step.

The recent articles about the rush of applicants for b-school next year as a result of the current economic situation are a bit disheartening. Not enough to discourage me from applying, but enough to make me consider what my plan B will be should it become necessary.

To give you a quick glimpse into personality, my usual tagline is that I have the attention span of a squirrel. Not on individual things so much (I can sit and stare at a proposal with the best of them), but on more of a macro level. For instance, I have been in my current job for about 3 1/2 years, and it's kind of killing me. Not the job, just the lack of change.

So why do you care? Well, you might not actually. But I bring it up because I need a plan B - if b-school doesn't pan out next year, I need to have something else to move onto in the meantime for the sake of my sanity. What is that? Not sure. I will tell you that I am headed to a Peace Corp info session tomorrow night (turns out they have business development posts available) just to hear what they have to say, explore my options before the final hour.

In the meantime, GMAT studying it is!
