1 Be absolutely certain with your decision to get your MBA and your business school of choice

I'm really not trying to scare you and I don't really mean to end this on asomber note. In fact, most MBAs, including the vast majority of my classmates,are quite happy with the decisions they have made. Nevertheless, there is asignificant minority of talented, well-adjusted people who end up unhappy. Thereasons are as varied as the people themselves and include separation fromfamily and friends, undue pressure to attend business school from relatives andcoworkers, and career choices that do not require the MBA degree. For thisminority, a lot of time and money is wasted as a result of their bad decisions.
