So I had planned on pursuing pre-MBA internships for an early look at companies (I'm most likely targeting top consulting firms from an MBA business schools">M7, but am torn between that and banking). Now, because life, my girlfriend is probably getting a job very soon in my school's city so it doesn't make as much sense for me to stay behind and work all summer (2 rents, etc). Now I'm trying to decide if I should try to work as long as I can and save money (I will be entering school debt free but without much in savings) or, should she get a job soon, whether I should quit this summer and spend 4-6 weeks backpacking Europe and/or Asia. It seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity, but one that would leave in a very different financial state to start school.
Has anyone else been in this position and want to weigh in either way, and how you feel about the decision you made?
