A budget problem is forcing my patience to wait a year on an mba program.
In the mean time, keep gathering applicable experience and it'll mean more.

I have this feeling of boiling blood, adrenaline... not sure if angry. I envisage a picture of wall after wall and me ripping through brick, but they only get denser and denser, but I get more frantic until the picture goes white.

Is this normal?
...and is this a cool way to describe feelings or what =D

 

[Mr.Adrian]

Talking about feelings in an ENTJ forum?

And I cannot see your question besides your retorical question of being normal by being determined.

Go do some long distance running. It helps--- damn didn't you use that advice once on somebody?

 

[Enfpleasantly]

Sounds like anger and frustration to me...the boiling blood and adrenaline sounds like anger, but the breaking through brick walls getting denser makes me think frustration. That's my guess, but I suppose it could also be anxiety.

Or you could try hugging someone...I'm kidding I'm kidding!! Actually, I'm starting a book called Mindfulness by Mark Williams and Danny Penmam, it's about meditation by using mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT)...you pay attention to your breathing; It's not spiritual meditation. It's pretty interesting stuff and it's not a bunch of "feeler" mumbo jumbo, I was actually introduced to it by an INTJ

Called up the university to defer entry.
I could have found ways to finance entry into this year, but convinced work experience will help the course and that a better financial standing before going in means less pressure to part-time work and juggle the course.

Next question, wtf am I going to do for a year, current job is fairly well paying... but experience is platau-ing, so I have brain-cells to spare. Push for more experience (i'm due to have a post-3 month talk), take up relevant interests associated to future career, self-learning, set up a club?.

Gonna learn myself some corporate and business strategy and SunTzu, that was pretty much the toughest subject in the BA.

Some possible options:

1. A lot of MBA programs allow you to transfer in 6-12 units (2-4 classes) from other universities. If you can find a significantly cheaper MBA program (many have online MBA programs), you can take a couple classes in the next year on the cheap and then transfer them into your program next year and you'll already be partially finished. I know of a few cheapish MBA programs if you're interested. Also, don't worry that you're not admitted to these other programs - many of them will allow you to take a few courses as a "conditionally admitted student" (not fully through the admissions process).

2. Take one class per semester/quarter as a "non admitted student" at the MBA program that you'll be in next year. If you go part time it should be cheaper than if you were a full time student.

My point is...you can make "cheap progress" towards your degree over the next year while you're waiting. If your MBA program is organized as a "cohort", where all students have to progress together at the same pace, then obviously this would all be meaningless.

Not sure where you are, but, in the U.S. I got a full-time job at the college I wanted my degree from. I was able to take 2 courses tuition-free every semester, as a benefit of my employment there. I was able to earn my master's tuition-free. I just paid for fees and books. It took longer than attending as a full-time student, but, I came out with no debt.
