Going to Business School
Karla: I just heard that you’re taking a Leave of absence to go to business school. Is that right?
Joaquin: Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, and have finally Taken the plunge. I need an MBA to get ahead in my career.
Karla: That’s great, but why don’t you go part-time?
Joaquin: I had considered taking classes on nights and weekends while I continue to work, but I’ve been admitted into an Ivy League school, and I want to take full advantage of the opportunities there.
Karla: Isn’t Graduate school expensive, especially an Ivy League school?
Joaquin: Yeah, but I think it’s worth it, and I’ve been Saving up. I have an Undergraduate degree in Accounting and Finance, but that’s not enough if I want to work in the Upper echelons of this or any other company.
Karla: I graduated with a degree Marketing and Information systems. Maybe I should be thinking about getting an MBA.
Joaquin: I’d recommend it, if you want to go further in your career. I’ll lend you all of my Test prep materials for the GMAT.
Karla: The GMAT? I’d forgotten about the GMAT. That may be a Deal breaker for me.
Joaquin: Why? You don’t like taking tests?
Karla: I like taking tests as much as I like getting a Kick upside the head β maybe even less!
