我的年齡和工作經驗是否申請top 20 MBA無望?

[modern]

Is MBA for you?
Are those post MBA jobs interest you?
Is there any other alternatives to choose?

And, if the conclusion is - yes, I want to learn something new, and I want to get trained. <-- do you think it's a good reason for a top 15 US MBA degree?

I know there are some free B-schools in scadinavia and German, don't you think it is even a better choice for you?

Think more, and
discuss with more people before making a decision

我會認真考慮大家的意見的
你說的沒錯
mba有殘酷的現實面
畢竟這是人生的大抉擇
都走到這ㄍ階段ㄌ
最痛苦也是最困難的決定
現在景氣這麼差,到處在裁員
要放棄現在輕鬆月入十萬的飛行生活實在不容易
shopping,clubbing,每天打扮得美美的
但我的人生就一直就這樣
飛到老領退休金嗎??
真的很怕也不想在變阿媽空姐以後
望著機外的天空長嘆
遺憾,後悔當年沒有追求夢想的勇氣
是的也許
唸完B-school後
我的薪水會比現在少很多
and maybe我得為一個年紀比我小很多的上司工作
我得遵守他的一切成規
or maybe我會是公司最老的卻是職位最小的.....
這一切我都有心理準備
我給我自己兩年的時間prove myself
我想我的成熟度與接待客戶的專業與自信(十年來空服的歷鍊)
會被好老闆看到的
中間可能會遇到很多挫折
可是這是每個轉換跑道的人都必須堅強面對的吧
要虛心接受每次失敗
認真檢討再繼續往下走吧

作最壞的打算
作最好的準備
就是我現在的想法

大家為我加油吧
或你還有什麼想法或建議也請告訴我喔

You have lots of options:

1) Start a business (full-time or part-time)

2) Study something less expensive than a full-time 2 yr MBA in the U.S., such as a MS in Accounting

3) Study somewhere else besides US, such as English MBA programs in Asia, e.g. Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore, Europe, etc where the costs would be lower so that your return on investment might be higher.

4) Study for free in the Scandanavian countries

5) Make the career switch now. Sell your personal skills and see if you can get a position in Sales in the finance industry. If you can accept an entry-level salary after an MBA, then why don't you just quit and try now?
