Nearly the end of year 1...

Memnoch · 04-27-2006, 04:17 PM

Geez it's been an unbelieveable year. This MBA is HEAPS of work - I've done more work in this 1 year than I have in any other year of my life, including working. The workload seemed endless at times, you do 8am - 4pm classes then you have to do readings, case preparation and homework which usually took anywhere from 3 hrs (if you skimmed through things) to 8 hours (if you did them properly). But it's nearly over - 2 weeks to go!!!

Then I'll most likely be moving to LA to do an internship with a startup which I'm really excited about. Working will be like a holiday compared to school - at least I'll have my evenings free. Yay!

Two years from now I want to be working for a company here in the US, to build some capital and to get some US experience, preferably in the biotech space. Then after 5 years I want to quit my job and start up my own business (or buy an existing business) with the capital I've saved. I don't plan on being in corporate life long term (been there done that) but I do need some $$$ as seed capital.

So what's your own business going to look like ? What will you be selling to us ignorant peasants ?

Well done mate, you deserve this for all that work!

Coincidentally, how did you stay sane? Have you got any tips on how to really get stuck in, when you know you need to?

And if I get into Law School... I'll recognize that feeling pretty soon.

Great job Mario! Hope your plan works out.
