I'm having a hard time figuring out what I want to do and how it's all going to fit in my life. I've been trying to get myself geared up to study for the GMATs for the past few years and I've decided that 2008 is the year I will actually do it. And by do it, I mean study. Perhaps even take the test.
But what am I going to do if I end up scoring well on the exam? IF I apply for b-school and IF I decide to attend, will I have time for life - home, work, school, and everything else? We're planning to start a family soon and I don't know how everything will fit together.
What if I go to b-school and get my MBA and then turn into a stay-at-home mom. Will it be worth all the time and effort? And then once I reenter the workforce will all my hard work be consider dated?
I had a conversation with my boss last night about going back to school and she basically said that an MBA is not valued at my company in a traditional sense. The company wants me to explore my interests and help me reach my goals, and if that means getting my MBA, then great. Otherwise, they would help me if I decided I wanted to become an underwater basket weaver. It's great... but it also kind of sucks.
I'm so confused! I'm going to study and we'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll take the test and then just be really proud of that. It could be like getting my real estate license, which was just the result of wanted to take a test and feel that kind of pressure again.
Gah!

im sure you'll figure it all out. things always seem to work itself out. i guess its good to have timelines but not be constrained by them.
here's a solution for you. apply for b school in s. CA (part time), start a business with me, and be a stay at home mom all at once! haha
that would be so awesome!!!
ps - there are no plans to be an actual stay at home mom, but i don't know how i could be a mom, full time worker, and a student.
