You’re right. I’ve been worried about still being single at 30. In my parents’ culture, you’re considered a leftover woman if you’re not married by age 27. I wouldn’t want to have kids during the MBA because I feel like that’d impact recruiting and the entire experience.

I guess I don’t know when the best time to get an MBA is. Is 2 years of FT work experience enough? I already have 6 months of full time internship experience - does the count?

Honestly the dream is to find an older man with a stable career by the time I’m 25. That way I wouldn’t feel as terrible about my career taking a hit if I have a family. But that means I need to pick a place and not move - and I don’t think I’m going to stay in the South forever. 90% of my friends are in NYC and my home is three hours away. I thought about doing an MBA at NYU in two years so I could definitely move back but it’s really expensive and I might not get in.
