I am considering quitting my job to start my own business. I would be self-employed when I start my part-time MBA if I do so. Are there any issues with this?

Are you required to be employed full time by somebody? Thanks!

I replied on a similar post earlier, but, no, you are not required to be employed by someone in order to go to school full time. However, there could potentially be implications for financial aid/scholarships/loans so I might check with a financial aid officer or loan officer to make sure that these are not contingent on employment (but I don't think this is the case - people get laid off all the time and a school would not kick you out for this!!).

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
