I have been somewhat disappointed in my income level this year, and think that one of the best ways to improve my income long term is to go back to school. While I have an undergrad degree and it helped me to obtain my current job, it would be very helpful to have an advanced degree like an MBA in order to climb the job ladder. Thankfully, I can probably take part time classes so I won’t have to give up my current position. Or, if I do go full time it will be worth it as I will probably make a long more money in the long term.

The most scary thing about going back to school is applying to programs, and having to write an MBA application essay. The essay can be a daunting task because it can make the difference between being rejected or accepted into a program, so I have to be sure that I get the right message across.
