Sup. I'm planning to apply to Bschool in 4 years.

I graduated from college last Spring and started working as an engineer at an aircraft manufacturer. Starting to realize that I don't want to do this forever. After some soul-searching and thinking about my strengths and weaknesses, and what I like to do, I decided to direct my efforts towards business school.

I'm super clueless about the business world, and up until maybe senior year of undergrad I thought all business was, was accounting, finance, investing, stocks, etc. and other things to do with money, so I didn't have any interest in it. Now I realize that it covers areas I'm interested in, like marketing, strategy, and organization. I don't yet know which specific area I want to work in, and I think figuring that out should be my first step.

Oh, and my GPA is a 2.9. So this should be fun...
