WSO,
Some quick background about myself before I get into the question:
I graduated with my engineering degree earlier this year, and I have been admitted to b school and deferred until Fall of 2015. Currently, I work as a financial analyst at a F500 company and usually only work 45-50 hours / week -- besides relaxing with friends and working out, I don't do much outside of work. I have a lot of free time.
With my free time, I recently took and passed the CFA level I exam. I had no finance courses in high school or college so it was a nice challenge for me. I have no intention to enter the investment industry, and because of this, I feel level 2 is overkill for me. My goal is to break into consulting after b school.
I have felt like a slob the last 2 months doing nothing to better myself, so WSO, what can I do with the rest of my 1.5 years to further my education and preferably add more to my resume?
It's like you haven't discovered internet porn.
On a more serious note, congrats on b-school man. I don't have any suggestions (aside from the above).
What do you think I've been doing with my free time the last 2 months? Great suggestion, but I just feel a bit ashamed afterward in addition to feeling like a bum.
Dude, enjoy life and do nothing. Travel, hang out with friends, do some community service, coach a little league team, or start playing a sport yourself. Not many people have the kind of time you have with the future secured. If I had that kind of time, I think I'd find something to compete at, whatever it was. You certainly won't have this much time if/when you start at MBB in a few years.
What school did you get into this year that you deferred? Or was it 2+2?
Hah well after the way I answered flake's comment, I should probably keep that to myself!
Hahah
