Can you work to pay off your UG debt before going to business school?

The opportunity cost of not paying that down while piling on additional MBA debt will severely limit the careers you can “explore” considering potential debt burden/financial stress.

If you are a strong candidate you can also try to get a scholarship for BSchool

I am currently serving my notice period at PwC AC. They had given out a retention bonus in march with the clause to return it in full if an employee leaves the firm any time before march 2023.

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table.

He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

I’ve been waiting for security clearance since July and just found out I’m pregnant after trying for a year. I’m hoping clearance will be granted in early spring 2021 and I can start work soon after. Thankfully taking unpaid time off isn’t a big issue (won’t be eligible for FMLA or parental leave), but worried about timing and telling HR & my supervisor. I’m planning to tell them once I start; know timing isn’t ideal and stressed about starting off on the wrong foot. Any advice?
