Yes yes yes, we know, you want to make more money. Get a better job. Maybe work in some other part of the world. All that is perfectly fine. But as part of your pre-application MBA preparedness process, we strongly encourage you to step back and consider the question of WHY.
An MBA is a way to transform your career. You’re stuck in some dead-end position and you’re looking for a way out.
Maybe you only pursued your current career based on pressure from your family, or because you followed the crowd in college. Maybe you originally wanted to become an artist but everyone else in your family works for your grandfather’s business and that’s where you went too. Or maybe you wanted to work in a nonprofit after college but everyone else was going to Wall Street or consulting and so you ended up just following along. And now you’re like, “HEY! What I really want to do is go into tech!!*”
Or whatever.
And now you’ve decided that bschool is the way out.
