Cold Feet??

[Ayudame]

I've been half-heartedly watching this site and reading the posts. It's been awhile since I wrote a response or question, but as the time to pay 20% to secure a spot at an IMBA program nears, I'm beginning to second guess the decision to enroll.

I graduated in a decent Criminal Justice Administration program in 2004, worked as a Coordinator of Loss Prevention for one year, and then went to live in Mexico for one year. Last March, I was accepted into a great IMBA program and decided to defer the commencement date to a) save financially and b) gain more business experience. So, I returned to the US and found my way into a small hedge fund.

I truly don't know what I want to do in the future and I'm contemplating staying where I'm at and turning down the admittance letter at the IMBA school. I need to pay in January and not sure what to do.

I'll write more if needed but any preliminary suggestions/ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I firmly believe you should have an idea of the direction you want your career to go in before entering an MBA program. It is hard to know exactly what you want to do, but you should have some idea of the relative direction you want your career to go in. There are plenty of individuals that go into an MBA program with the intent on changing careers but these individuals know what career they want to change to. I don't believe in wasting moneyy on school if you don't know what you want to do with your education.
