Hey guys. I was wondering about my response to the question concerning career goals that is on almost every application. Upon entering school I will have 1 year experience in IT consulting and 1 year experience of running my own successful business that started and ended while in college. I plan to have my concentration in entrepreneurship.

For my response I am discussing how I would like to initially work in venture capital/private equity and then eventually open my own business or consulting firm. The concern I have about this response is that I know it is hard to break into the venture capital world right out of any mba program, especially if you don't have much experience in the industry such as myself (although my entrepreneurial experience is probably helpful).

Now, would it be wise to explain in the essay that I know this may be a hard feat to accomplish and that I would also like to possibly work in consulting dealing with small businesses as opposed to venture capital if not possible. Will this look like I do not have a set goal in mind? I am just worried about looking as if I don't know that it may be hard to get a job in venture capital, or that they may think I am a weak candidate due to having goals that might not be met as planned. Let me know what you think, thanks.
