When I got promoted late last year, while an MBA wasn't required, I was expected to get one for the job sooner rather than later. I blew past the Fall 2012 deadline because I was right in the middle of a huge crunch plus I was trying to fill two positions while receiving approximately 200 job applications for those positions. So I got a call from the VP a few days ago regarding me getting an MBA. I admit that I've been growing complacent - any time I wasn't working, I was screwing around online, hanging out with girls, and playing video games. I look at the the MBA school I want and the deadline is October 1st for Spring 2013 and you have to wait two weeks for the paperwork to process so essentially I have until September 14th to take the GMAT, get all of my letters of recommendation lined up, my application filled out, etc.
This is kind of a tall order because I've been really slacking on studying for the GMAT and to expect people to write letters of recommendation within a week or two seems kind of rude. So I will probably need to wait until Fall 2013 to start. Which kind of pisses me off because I've been putting off getting this thing forever and by the time I'll be done, I'll be 30. I wanted to get a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, which with an online program, is up to five years. So by the time I want to be done with my education, I'll be 35.
I just need to get off my ass and do something interesting. Anything, really.
