23 September 2002 (Monday): options

1. An M.S. in Environmental Engineering, followed by an M.B.A.
2. An M.B.A. with a specialization in green business and sustainable development.
3. An M.S. in Environmental Sciences, with a specialization in corporate strategy and urban planning.
4. An interdisciplinary M.S. in Something I Made Up Because This Field Is Kinda New.

Option 2 seems to be the most viable at the moment. This is an intriguing list of business schools that give weight to environmental and social issues, though I doubt I could get into those programs. I'm also enough of a geek that I'd like to get my hands dirty in an M.S. program. I should be a little wary of delving back into fields involving chemistry, I suppose; I got straight Bs in college o-chem.

For the record, I'm having the time of my life with this music thing. Aside from the occasional "I am good enough?" pangs of panic, there are no real doubts, and certainly no regrets. But for better or worse, I thrive on a variety of input, and I start getting restless when my work consists of one thing only. The work tends to suffer, too. So I'm looking into the possibilities of life beyond the record contract, seeing as music is unlikely to provide for retirement, and I don't intend to be traveling all the time as a mom ten years down the road. Anyway, I can think of worse things to do on tour than studying for the GMAT.

I've always been a big fan of school for keeping the mind active. A good perspective's always handy by itself, but two good perspectives adds depth perception.

I'm with Mr. S. Roll your own degree and you will have less competition. :)

Oh, Enji, Moonpuddle... in response to your rhetorical question/prompting a number of posts back, I've started blogging.
