So here I sit. I am 38 years old. I am married with 4 kids and a full time job. This week I bid on a new job at work and was challenged by an important figure within my company during my interview with him to get an MBA within 2 years because he has plans for me and wants to see me taking initiative to build myself into a more valuable employee. Cost is not a problem as the company will pay for it as long as I get good grades. Up until now motivation has been my problem, for dread of the process. I am in the middle of deciding to make this commitment for the next few years of my life, and I wanted to hear other people's stories as I go through the process.
So, if you have continued your education, what drove you to do it? What are the things you enjoyed, and what are the watch outs that you would try and avid if you did it again? Has your education gotten what you thought it would, and if not, has it gotten you something else instead? For those like me who are just starting, or restarting down the road of higher education, what advice would you give?
You don't need to be in my situation to comment. All stories are valued and welcomed.
Thanks
Bill
