The Answer To My 1/4 Life Crisis!

I've decided to go back to school! Yes, I will be returning to my Alma Mater for my MBA!



After thinking it through and discussing it with hubs, we've decided that this will be a good move! So, I've ordered the Princeton Review's GMAT 2010 Prep and I'll begin studying for the GMAT test once the book comes in! (You have to take the GMAT test in order to get into Business Graduate School.)

So, since I have the Pre-Reqs for Grad School, I'll only have to take 10 Graduate Courses. I'm planning on taking 2 classes per semester and start in the Spring. But, since I have to have a GPA of a 3.0 in order to obtain my Masters, I might have to take only 1 class per semester. We'll just have to see! Keep in mind that I'll continue to work at my current job while going to school - so 40 hours and grad school! Not to worry though, I worked 40+ hours the ENTIRE time I was in college - all 5 years. Yes, 5 years.. I changed my major at one point.

So, wish me luck. This will be challenging, but I know I can do it!

Oh good. Glad you made a decision that you feel good about. This sounds like a great plan.

I used to work in the Graduate School of Business at the University of Arkansas and was always around the MBA students. I really enjoyed it. Those are some smart cookies (well most of them anyway). Best of luck on the GMAT, I hear it is tough so study hard.

That's awesome that you have things figured out. :) I've yet to have my 1/4 life crisis, and would be ok to NEVER have it, to be honest. :)
