Isn't that most people in the workforce? Unless you mean they haven't had a job in 20 years either

I earned a BA in English Lit an Economics in 1982 from SUNY Binghamton, and my MBA from Chicago in Finance in 1986. I find them all relevant. At this point, if I wanted to get a second master's or MBA, I'd have to take the GREs or GMATs again. I have no desire to do that, and where would it get me. GARCH models existed in my time too.

Waitlisted at UVA Darden, accepted to a MS IT Management.

Previous military so I have a GI Bill to burn through. I'm waitlisted at Darden's EMBA and accepted to a 1-yr MS IT Management program.

My thought is that if I don't get off the waitlist, I can do the MS MIT this year then the EMBA next year. My mentor thinks the MS MIT might pigeon-hole me into the tech-only world and be redundant if I'm going to go on to get the EMBA.

I'm starting my first year consulting on an IT contract in June.
