    Question If you had an MBA...

    ..what would you do with it? Just wondering. I'm taking my last final tonight. Expect typical "I need to move back out west" threads to come soon, once I'm clear having to pay work back for their paltry (but appreciated!) tuition reimbursement.

    Boise and missoula mags in particular, be forewarned.

    That is all.

    Nothing even half as fun as if I had a hammer.

    For then I could hammer in the morning.

    And hammer in the evening.

    All over this land!

    (Estwing, of course)

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    dude, you should totally go on the apprentice. That is quite literally the only thing one of those is good for....

    ...I'd MBA in the morning...

    ...I'd MBA in the Evening...

    ...all the day long!


    But seriously - I think there are more executive track MBA needed positions in the Employment Section of any newspaper than anything else. Find one that sounds interesting.

    depends on what your experience/insdustry was before getting the MBA.....get a job that is 100% travel in consulting, stash your stuff except for a carry on suitcase and your ski bag at a rent free location. stay in hotels and work all week and fly to wherever has the best snow on the weekends. switch out your ski bag for a mtn bike case in the summer. bank your money because all expense are paid except meals on weekends and you get insane frequent flier miles so when you do take vacation you can basically fly around the world for nothing.

    skiing?

    There are many pitfalls with joining up at a ski area, such as immediate availability and having all the fun sucked out of the sport but... why not put it to use in a marketing department or some other managerial position? Free passes! But as the man once said (i might be paraphrasing)

    "Skiing as a sport, or lifestyle even, is completely different from skiing as an industry."
    "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
