Free at last!

exams are over! finally!  i don't intend to take any optional 3rd exam. ideally, i should so i can improve my grades. however i don't think i would be getting a better grade by taking another exam.  if i did not do well in the finals then it's a 100% probability that i won't do any better in the 3rd exam.  besides i'm so sick of studying.  i just want to watch tv. 

before i really thought that i wanted to take up MBA.  i felt that there is a need for it.  i was thinking that a master's degree can boost my career.  the original plan was to study while working for the senator (btw, this is her official friendster account.)  and once i have a master's degree, apply for a higher ranking job.  well, i thought that with an MBA, i would be better qualified to be somewhere but below the corporate ladder.  but then tiger woods came and all of a sudden i felt that i don't need it.  i just have to be a corporate slave (read: earn an exceeds expectations mark in performance evaluations) and i can conquer the corporate world.  MBA is not part of the exceeds expectations thingy.  i don't think they put a premium in a master's degree.  anyway, i'll reserve the exceeds expectations dilemma in another entry.

do i want to be in this company forever?  i don't know.  for now, i like what i see.  but that doesn't mean that i should focus only on the here and the now.  who knows a better opportunity will come along (probably a career in ADB, how i wish! haha) and an MBA would come in handy. 

am i studying just for credential's sake?  yes.  it's really unfortunate that i'm studying not for intellectual progress but for the sake of a better job.  i remember a friend who once told me that earning a master's degree teaches us to be slaves.  those with master's degrees are better slaves than others. i definitely agree. 

so for now, with the hopes of being a corporate leader someday, i just have to endure three years of MBA studies.
