I was getting the MBA because I know it's one of those degrees that you can take just about anywhere... except science :o). I didn't see any doors being opened in any scientific field at the time, so it seemed like a step forward, in a slightly different direction, but a step forward nonetheless. I couldn't wrap my mind around the idea of the complete dismissal of my love for science, so I stopped pursuing the MBA. It would be easy for me pick it back up just to prove that I can handle the work-load of a master's program, but I agree that the committee would probably just look at it and attribute it to indecisiveness. On another note, Sharon at South emailed me back about whether it would benefit me to get a second bachelor's. She said that she would talk to the dean about it when he returns to the office which is next Monday. I guess I'll see if the "no exceptions" attitude holds true.... Let's hope not!
