标题: Essay 求助!

essay下周due了,刚刚拿写好的essay给美国朋友看,他说我写出了why MBA, why this school,但完全没写出why now?他感觉不到任何urgent要现在去读MBA? 我也想不出太好的理由,来这里请大家帮帮我提点建议,不胜感激。

我的情况是这样的,我在美国读了phd,在一家技术公司做工程师,想要将来开一家business and strategy consulting 公司给技术公司出谋划策。读MBA是因为只有技术背景是不够的,要懂商业知识。但我怎么解释一定要现在去读MBA呢?

you need to explain that in your career progress, you have a major bottleneck now that cannot be broken through on your current position in short future

to explain this

the best way is through opportunity cost analysis

you need to show that in short future

the opportunity cost of staying in status quo is higher than studying an MBA

then you'll have a why now

while you'll need to dig deep into your career evolution and future projection

find out what will happen if you keep the current position in short future

and if you choose to study MBA now, what impact will it give you in immediate future

then the why now will emerge by itself

David, thank you for your great advice.

Since I am applying for part-time MBA, the opportunity cost is not high. I will keep my job and want to gain business knowledge while building industry experience. However, i can learn business knowledge any time, why does it have to be now? That is the part i can explain. In reality, I have to do it before I am too old but it is not something I can say in the essay,right?
