I finally got motivated enough to buy a GRE study book and start taking the online prep course. My long and painful history of procrastination had finally come to an end. Another year would not pass while I vowed "I WILL take the GRE by the end of the year."
And then I started thinking about an MBA. Evidently there are all sorts of crazy MBA programs out there in nonprofit management, international organizations, and even sustainable development. And I've only been searching for a short while.
Anyway, this has completely derailed my GRE plans because if I go for the MBA I'll need to take the GMAT instead -- which, from what I can tell so far, is much harder and more expensive ($250). But I definitely need to do some more reading, searching before committing to anything.
I was looking forward to the funness of grad-studentdom; absorbing courses about gender & globalization, revolutionary movements, geographies of the developing world; instead, I might be doing stats and making business plans. But for some reason I have a feeling that this is a good new direction to consider. Rather than just feeding my love of liberal arts goodness, I'll have some concrete skills to apply to organizations or maybe my own business; oh, and I'll be paying off my business school loans FOREVER.
Do any of you know anything about this stuff??

Well, yeah, as a matter of fact, I do know something about this stuff...but I'll tell you up front that I'm a little biased! I work in Admissions for the Bainbridge Graduate Institute. We're one of those sustainable MBA programs. It does sound like we may be on your wavelength--please check us out!
(And by the way, we recommend the Princeton Review's GMAT prep book that comes with a DVD. Our applicants seem to think it's worthwhile, and it's a LOT cheaper than a course. Good luck with it in any case--glad it's you and not me that has to take it!)
