You are putting waaaaay too much emphasis on MBA programs. You seem consumed by the prospect of getting into an elite b-school.

I bet you still live at home and the parents are footing the bill for your school (am I right?). Before you start throwing fast food employees, soldiers, and mechanics under the bus, take a walk in their shoes.

This thread is turning into a bizzaro counseling session to help you to get an MBA and a rich date.

A desire to get sufficient education to pursue a rewarding career is laudable. People with the most useful skills will do far better than those who fritter away all their time on a PS3.

That said, balance between work and family is important, and getting harder for professionals whose employers expect very long hours for the hefty paychecks. Someone wise once observed that when a person approaches the end of their life, they rarely lament that they should have spent more time at work.

Many women my age are consumed with getting graduate degrees. I don't see why this is bad.

Some yes... But some is from my grandma who left me some money for the express purpose of getting a graduate degree when she died. The rest is student loans, grants, and money that I've actually saved up. Frankly, I consider it to be an investment that's going to pay for itself in a couple of years.

My parents did foot the bill for my college tuition. (I went to a state school, which meant I was incredibly cheap).

Women find guys in dead end jobs like burger flipping unsexy, and most gals with college degrees want to date guys with college degrees. Why the hell is that so hard to understand?
