GMAT study plan + summer distractions = not my most productive combo. I’ve got vacations, weddings, and friends wanting to squeeze in plans before fall, but my brain says I should be locked in with practice tests. How are you balancing summer life with application prep?

I didn’t. Summer life was paused while I locked in for my test.

My wife is a great mother. She, however, is not very physically affectionate and always has a million excuses. I crave physical affection both in the bedroom and in general. I’ve communicated this many times and nothing has changed. It’s driving me nuts and making me feel completely unwanted. I work hard for our family and try to do things around the house as well but often work many more hours overall. Not really sure the point of writing all this out, I just hate it.

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
