Hi Stacy,
I am considering a career change but concerned that I am too old for a full time MBA. I'm currently 29 and would like to apply for entry next fall, when I'll be 30. I'm worried that business schools won't be interested in me because I'm too old.
Also, I've hear that recruiters aren't interested in older applicants. Why would you take a 32 year-old who you'd have to pay more when you can get a 27 year-old for less.
Some additional info on me: I have a BSN and MSN from a reputable school. Four years of clinical nursing experience but no management work. Recently graduated from MSN program and will rejoin the work force in the fall as an Advanced Practive Nurse at a prestigious hospital, excellent salary. I'm interested in a Healthcare Management MBA or MBA/MPH program.
Any advice would be appreciated.
