Many of us leave the workforce to get an MBA for very similar reasons: to accelerate our careers. The ambition is in and of itself very compelling, but I believe many of us are driven by the complementary goal of obtaining positions that we want, positions that will make us happy worker bees. Obviously these goals are inter-related for most of us: because we like to have influence, the accelerations gets us into those positions faster. I am thrilled that an MBA will propel me to a new phase in my career and will enable me to take on roles that motivate and inspire me. In fact, I'm looking forward to graduate school to remind me why this work inspires me in the first place!
