在美工作两年半想申MBA求指点迷津（engineer，8万刀/y）

国内985本科毕业后，到美国一所一般学校MS，工科工作经验两年半，由刚开始的踌躇满志，到现在感觉斗志越来越低落，自己继续下去可以做一个二流工程师，senior engineer，但是感觉生活一眼望到头，没有什么激情。

公司在美国大农村，华人很少，一个人孤单寂寞。已经越来越觉得工作乏味，没有拼劲，公司绿卡在办，但是觉得这样的生活挺无聊的。

想冲击一下top MBA，做一些积极的改变，以后转行或者回国创业，感觉会打开很多机会的大门。自己干劲比较足算是工作狂，事业心比较强，不想朝九晚五，想全心全意闯出一点事业。

目前GMAT没考，但是之前2010年GRE考过1400，准备重考GMAT，GPA本科overall88，top排名，major 90+，MS GPA 3.9/4，灌水了几篇paper，现在的工作主要是偏技术的，缺乏管理经验，现在目标是如果能上TOP10就读，不知这是不是有点不切实际，大家看看值得折腾一下吗

Are you good at kissing ass? If not, Spending another 1 or 2 years on MBA gonna waste your time.

First of all, as general or operation manager in a company, you will get less salary than your expected. In additional, you have to deal with some 'annoyed' people around you. Thinking about the concept of Xiao Ren in Chinese. You may have to deal with Childish boss too. It depends. But if you wants to own your business, please ignore what I said before. You are the boss. You charge everything. So I don't think you have to get MBA. Anyone can start a business if s/he has a passion and wealth. Does this work?

I appreciate your frankness, and now the insight. I dont know what the future holds for me, but it is just that restless innerside and dissatisfaction of what I do now that drive me for an MBA that I think might lend me the momentum to change my status quo.

I am at this crossroad, and I know i have to give up a lot if I choose to pursue an MBA and I am not sure if I will become excited again. But I am not very happy right now.

From my research, MBA does seem suitable for me, energetic and ambitious, competitive and like challenges. What I do is not challenging anymore. I am not challenged enough and I am bored.

两年半时间不太够，在工作两年，加上绿卡和700+GMAT成绩，也许能申请到不错的MBA-top25. 能够跳到很理想的公司。当然MBA不是必然之路，如果有机会中间转工作也可以的-experience hiring

多谢你的回复！
你讲的很有道理，尤其是怠工这一块。最近确实是觉得精神上面提不起兴趣，对manager也没有以前那么礼貌。虽然尽量隐藏，但是内心已经感觉想起就烦。

现在计划就是先把工作做好，催公司尽快办绿卡，准备GMAT可能到时候争取full time mba while not giving up the job。。play it by ear...
再次谢谢
