MBA?
I never dared say it out loud, and now I know I never will, but the idea of going to Business School (HEC specificially) occurred to me sometime last year. I would imagine that a lot of you must have already thought about graduate school, but I hated college life so much that the idea of going back to school never even entered my mind until then. Now, I'm not stupid, and I know how much of a slacker I was all through college, so I knew the thought of me doing anything academic is a joke, but I was bored at 8AM this morning so I looked at some of GMAT practice test questions I found online just for my entertainment.
Clearly, a bad idea. My performance on basic Algebra was shockingly poor. I should have known... I faked my way through college without once learning how to do simple additions. Fractions scare me, graphs render me fidgety and percentages make me want to apologize.
And there's a section called "Analytical Writing Assessment"? The only thing I've ever analyzed is my sorry ass, and it fluctuates between "Oh I'm not such a bad person after all. Actually, I'm kind of brilliant" and "See, I once again proved myself to be a fool. With all the stupidity I've exhibited in this world the least you could do is slit my throat so I'd shut up for good".
At any rate, it was crystal clear that it was still too early for me to even think about MBA. 2008 is all about work, work, work. And maybe a guy or two along the way, if I'm lucky.
