I tend to agree!!!

I'm looking at doing the same myself. As I'm now pushing 40 there seems to
be a yearning within me to make the next big step into the upper echelon of
the food chain. The only real way to do this within the global 1000 is to
have a solid B-School to back it up with.

I'm considering: London Business School (LBS) and INSEAD, but we'll see as
I'm still in prep mode for GMAT.

I've been following some MBA bloggers and there's a wealth of information
there. From daily life to classes and getting your foot in the door. CHECK
IT OUT...
