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.
