Going Forward from MBA

I have been very contemplative lately. I can't quite figure out why.

It is possible that I am finally coming to terms with the fact that after 5 years in the Navy and 3 years in graduate school, I am actually on the verge of entering "real life." I am sure that MBA is not real life

- it is an incredible laboratory of leadership, teamwork, experience and human relationships.
- it is a place of few consequences, where people can become whoever they chose
- it is a place of forgiveness and catharsis, where people overcome old demons
- it is a place of exploration, where people discover the person they think they want to be, and try it on for size.

MBA is all these things, but it is definitely not reality.

There are only opportunities going forward, and I believe that I have the answers, if I can only unlock them from within myself.

Beginning the transition out of B-School

Friends,

I have recently uploaded a video diary for the Wharton Diaries program, but updating this blog is a way of preparing for my transition out of business school.

I have come to enjoy blogging, and I hope to get a chance to continue as my work allows.

Cheers
