My backgournd was engineering, but my ambition was more than working as an engineer for a life time (xixi, at least I wanted my profession to encourage dress pretty or "cool" )...
I knew MCK has a program hiring PhDs from all fields: history, philosophy, art, engineering and of course biz world. From what I heard from friends, MBA is nothing more than (entry-level) analysts at MCK But still, MBA seemed to be a career/direction-change shortcut for me.
Without much planning I took GMAT in yr 2002 while working on my PhD since as a graduate RA at Gatech, I didn't need to pay any tuition at all to study for a MBA on the side... However, before I got the MBA admission I went to intern with an GIS firm which later on became my first full-time job...After little hesitation, I quit my PhD (advisor would transfer to another school that year anyway) and happily started that easy work life.
Let's say I also worked (very) long hours in the beginning and got a few promotions and tried different job responsibilities from analyst, team lead, associate PM, trainer to consultant and sales (not all of these were reflected in job titles, though). Then my friend forwarded me a couple of opportunities at MCK and it seemed natural for me to dream-try there...
But I guess it's not easy to beat fate and our plan may fall into some futile trap. Also sometimes things may run downhill and people lose vision and direction. Anyhow, some unexpected and unhappy events happened and I was led here applying to other jobs. In the past 3 weeks when I interviewed with a few big engineering firms which provide tuition waiver, part-time MBA again looks practical for me. However, I got contacted by a headhunter introducing me to Accenture which remained unheard of by me until 2 weeks ago
Now I don't know what's out there waiting for me, but as always, I choose to stay easy no matter how tough my (potential) work may get
Thanks a lot, sweetie, and sorry about this long post which I couldn't quite understand what it's all about after I finished writting it at this moment. Well, I guess I'm trying to choose to feel silly again just for the hard-to-explain fun of it
