Poll for "reason for doing MBA"

by workonnet1 » Mon Mar 02, 2009 6:20 pm
I am creating a poll here to know whether people who apply for MBA really have reasons for doing MBA

Most MBA-applicants essays for application make them look like they are doing MBA for really "honest and noble" intentions to alleviate the evil in the world. Very few may really have noble intentions. However, often the real reason is either the slumping career, lack of direction in their career path so far, more money, or another cog in wheels of hi finance system. Or else, how does one explain most grads going for finance industry.
Please list your "real" (and you can be honest. this is an anonymous poll) reason for doing MBA.
