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 –
maybe even less!
