In exactly one week, I will turn in my last test for Principles of Accounting I and my summer semester class will be over. I have to say that I will be glad to get what little free time I have back. But the question is: now what?
I started this class as a way to fulfill my training requirement for my yearly review as well as a way to discover if Accounting was something I would like to pursue professionally. I could certainly keep working like I have been and just take what is given to me. But, inspired by my sister, I realize that I should be more proactive in this part of my life and make things better for myself.
So I am looking at the grad programs at Towson University and University of Baltimore. The plan, right now, is to focus on taking the GMAT this winter. Then, I can start applying to schools when I get the results back. I can take a couple more classes at JCC after I get the GMAT out of the way and that should help with the undergrad GPA problem. Ideally starting graduate level classes in the fall of 2012.
I still have to look at the big picture, though. Like how many classes should I take a semester, how many years will it take me to complete, how much will my company pay for, etc.
The thing to keep in mind about evening MBA programs is that people of all ages take them (example, Ray Romano in my class had a daughter who was three years younger than I am).
