One of the things I often hear from people I meet is how they have wanted to pursue an MBA for years but haven’t because of a whole host of reasons Are you one of those people? If you are, you are not alone.
In fact, if you are one of the people who has been thinking about getting an MBA for more than three years you are in the norm. In a recent survey our students indicated that they had been thinking about getting an MBA on average for three years. The range Smeal EMBA had been thinking of getting an MBA ranged from one year to thirty years. WOW! Thirty years…imagine not finding the time do something for thirty years, and then having the drive and determination to follow through! Or imagine thinking about an MBA for one year, and then having the ability to pull the trigger and do it!
My follow up question to all of our respondents was “what finally made you do it?” What we found was interesting, and we added a page to our website to capture their sentiment. It’s called “Too Busy?” and can be seen by clicking here.
My question for you is how long have you wanted to pursue an MBA? I guess my second question is – how much longer are you going to wait?
