Second year of TFA?

[noexcuses]

Hi,

I'm just rounding out my first year of TFA. It's pretty clear that teaching is not the direction I want to go, and while the experience is bearable and at times rewarding, I'm not sure that I want to invest another year into going in a direction that's different from my career goals (i.e. business). However, I do understand that completing TFA could increase my chances of getting into a top grad school, so I'm currently weighing the option of going back for my second year vs. finding a job in business. Any advise?

Thanks!

I don't know that I would agree that completing your TFA commitment will increase your chances of getting into a top grad school.  In my field, certainly no one would care.  But even in a field where it would matter, you already have one year under your belt.  And if you are interested in an MBA, I'm pretty sure that a job in business will carry more weight than teaching for another year.
