SELL OUT!

Well, I need to give up on the idea of avoiding the race. The other day I wrote the GMAT exam (the entrance exam for MBA programs) and plan to switch over to the MBA program beginning January. Now, if someone told me a year ago that I'd be doing an MBA, I'd laugh my ass off, but here I am, selling out to the man. Actually, the truth of it is that a lot of development organizations, government and NGOs are recruiting MBAs. Plus, the Dalhousie program allows me to take a lot of courses not traditionally included in most MBA programs.

Back to the GMAT exam. For some reason beyond my simple mind, someone has decided that geometry, arithmetic, reading comprehension and the sentence correction are the best way to judge potential candidates for business programs. Not a single question about business, not one. Wait, the subject for one of my reading comprehension questions was economics. I'm sure that there is some logic behind all of this, but I just can't see it right now. Regardless, I killed the exam so now I never have to worry about it again. I'm even thinking that maybe I set my sights a little low with Dal and perhaps I should go to one of the higher ranking schools. Wait, my parents aren't millionaires, and I don't really want to end up on Bay St, so scratch that earlier sentence.

So I'm joining the race, I've already bought the suit and everything.
