I took a third interview with my counselor the day before yesterday and it was very beneficial for me. He advised me that I had better choose graduate school following an extension of my current career because it is difficult to change career drastically at my age. I planned a career change to being a business consultant through an MBA program so the change of purpose to join an MBA program had a big effect on my career. He said that it might have taken a long time for me to go to the top business school where I wanted to go and have the advantage of becoming a consultant. Moreover, if I choose a school which follows an extension of my current career, I will not need to be anxious about my age anymore.
For the above reasons, I changed the plan from going to a two year MBA program to going to a one year program of a professional education course that is related to my current job and a one year MBA program. I was very excited with the plan. I wanted to become a consultant because I wanted to make use of my business knowledge from my current job. I am progressing to my dream little by little thanks to my counselor.
