`Long Way To Go

Okay, I just created this blog in order to observe my journey/preparation for Top MBA and to share some experiences with future/current MBAs. Originally, I am a lawyer graduated recently, but working in marketing company as a project manager. Maybe could be considered as "young" for typical MBA programme, though who can say "100 percent true" things about this rapidly changing world? Who was predicting surely Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in September or 53.000 layoffs in Citi today? So I am sure I would not be considered as "young for MBA" anymore.

Perhaps it is odd to choose MBA during such a hard times. Many borrowers have stopped student loans including Citiassist. Because of that almost 160.000 layoffs, number of "experienced guys" who have been fired by investment banks, are looking curiously for MBA in order to save 2 years and back with new strength.

Business Week's recent article shows 4 truths about today's MBA. Applicant number is increasing, competition is rising, loans are stopping..wow, what a good time to go for MBA:-)

Regardless of that factors, I am bewtiched with the idea of MBA, so will keep fingers crossed until application game is over.
