Considering getting an MBA, but in general interested in a broader field of study (sociology, philosophy etc) than just business studies. Any advice, are there MBAs where it’s possible to flex the coursework (up to an extend of course)?

You can look into dual programs that offer a JD/MPA/MPH/MPA along with your MBA. Some schools will let you take courses out of those designations, but will likely not fall into the “dual program” area

Trying to orchestrate a career pivot out of accounting. For 5 tough years self employed. Stellar ed, GPA, and past accounting roles. MBA. So smart about so many other things, but my own career/future. And so many amazing jobs I've applied for - in a sellers market. Nada. And the thought of a potential upcoming recession means, what, I will be 60 when I will have my next shot (I am 44 at the moment.) How do I keep going? Wife just gave me a 3 month notice to get out. What am I doing wrong?

How do y’all cope with what ifs? Can’t shake the feeling I could have gotten into an M7 school if I had focused less on work and more on the application / GMAT. Deep down, I know that the T15 I’m attending will help me achieve my goals; I would just have to put in a little more work on my end to get there. Not seeing my school’s name show up in the media/company presentations when they do spotlights on successful people does give me pause about how successful the average alumnus at my school is.
