[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got 3 out 4 rejections for MBA programs. I'm stuck in a dead end job right now and business school was going to be my exit opportunity. I just don't know what to do. Because of my low salary, I can't afford the DC area anymore and my parents live 2 hours away in a rural area where job opportunities are scarce for someone with a BS. I've been applying for  positions that I think I'd qualify for based on my experience, but the pay is too low. It's always been a dream of mine to pursue a Masters, but I'm afraid I may not be cut out for this. I'm also 30, so I don't want to wait that much longer to start grad school. My boyfriend has definitely been supportive, but he doesn't agree with the fact that I'll have to take on debt to pursue higher education. What should I do? [/quote]

He is right.  Be glad you were rejected.  Going to grad school as an exit from a low-paying job is just stupid, unless the grad school is likely to lead to something better.  An MBA without relevant work experience (a low paying dead end job is NOT relevant work experience for business management) is useless and will just put you in debt.  Keep looking for another job.  Eventually something will come through - make it something that pays better and is better, not something that will eat up two years of your life and leave you in debt.[/quote]
