So I'm applying for an MBA at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. Five years of work experience showed me clearly that more studying is required to succeed, or least more advanced degrees.
Studying now will be good for me, an excellent change of pace. Five years ago, I wasn't ready mentally for more studying, right after graduating from my bachelor. Now I'll give it my best and actually excel. When I get back to work, after that, I'll have both experience and academics. The best would have been to keep working AND study part time, but there are complex reasons why I'm not doing so. You can consider the reasons to be extremely simple too: Janine, weddings, parents, pressure, getting things done fast.
Basically Janine and I want to get married next summer; my parents don't want that unless I get a Master's degree. I talked to them about that recently and it raised a lot of issues, and a lot of valid points.
I wanted to get the master's anyway so getting a head start and doing it full time for a while (to get most or all of the courses under my belt) feels right.
The other options are: 1) getting married anyway and upsetting my parents (not that bad, but they're great support financially and morally, plus I see the advantages of getting ahead in the masters) 2) studying part time while working (would take forever, still not cool w/ parents, hell if not living with Janine, i.e. not married)
That's it for the quick status update.

Shit dude, I'm thinking of the MBA too (because I would need too) and I am getting to a point in my life where if I meet someone she will expect more dedication to "US". It's a tough call, being who I am I would say wait, you love each other then it can wait, but part of me would actually secretly elope which I could get away with, you I'm not so sure. Furthering you education will help you make it better for you family, so if she sees that and can deal with being your livein GF for two years, get the damn evil MBA, and in 3 years we can laugh about it at your wedding.
WHAT?
So the wedding is not being next summer??? Hum... update me huh! Because us being in Laos it wil be hard enough to see how we are going to do this!!! (meaning going to lebanon)
well... on other notes, the link does not work.... I'll see what your university is like!
See you some day!!!!!!
