Thanks, you two

Selecting a GMAT prep course took me around 3 months of both research and saving. My budget was 1K and that afforded me Veritas Prep's on-demand course which is 12 video lessons (each of roughly 5 subcategories), 8 books (?), 5 CAT practice tests, and like 1K + questions. It was $950. Started last week. Requires self-discipline for sure.

I would advise to revisit the situation once you have and are satisfied with your GRE/GMAT scores. The difference between knowing and doing are huge. You know you need your GRE/GMAT scores. Your experience seems solid, and definitely is if you can articulate about it verbally and in writing. So, instead of keeping yourself in the position that says: "I know I have to get a GRE/GMAT score, but is my experience enough? I need to know if it is before studying for 3-6 months for entrance exams" Put yourself in the position where you can simply apply and find out.

TERMS In your undergraduate years, You started a music company (record label / artist management) at 19. It was successful, but your main client works full time now, and the pay isn't enough to be self-sufficient. You were the only employee, but made a lot of connections. You started an online retail company which was very successful, but outsourcing production to meet the demand was impossible due to lack of cash, and in-house production was too time-consuming while finishing undergraduate coursework, so you shut it down. You have held 3 internships with small entertainment companies. You have been the assistant manager of a large beach club. You started and now run a much more automated online retail company, acquired a start-up loan, and based on first 3 months, you're on course to grow as anticipated in business plan. Not paying yourself yet. You have experience leading a group of 100 people, and have traveled to speak on their behalf. You are graduating college with a 2.7 GPA at age 22 and your major is Entertainment Business, but don't care about focusing on that. You visited a few graduation fairs and were told your resume counteracts your GPA by respectable enough schools. You are currently studying for GMAT So, you have "full-time work experience," have set up legal entities, negotiated contracts, acquired various licenses, created business plans and acquired funding; but it is mostly with yourself, or one other person. DO YOU: A) Go straight to MBA full-time for entrepreneurship? Go straight to work for someone else? C) Focus efforts building your company while still able to live at home? D) A combination: explain. PS Yes, I am the hypothetical person. My thinking for MBA full-time right away is that I could skip over a few echelons. My thinking for working for someone else is that I am very personable and experienced in my own business setting My thinking for focusing in building my own company is contingent on being able to pay myself I've thought of various combinations as well, but would like to hear yours.
