一个和考试本身无关的问题：）女士优先！

突然想到一个问题：青春就这么几年时间,如果按20—30计算。大家都是怎么打算的呢？

现在考gmat，可能还要工作几年，再出去读书，为了什么呢？

总是感觉时间紧迫，我还不知道自己30岁会是什么想法，难以想象30岁的生活是什么样子的

而且，我们追求自己的梦想，是不是也不知不觉中让亲人爱人为我们的梦想做出牺牲了呢？我是独子，如果一去几年，会觉得在亲情上有愧父母。不知道大家有没有类似的感受，有时候我觉得自己自私且狭隘。

但我还是选择了gmat

希望有前辈能给我答案。生活匆匆，想做的事应该倍加珍惜。

I am girl. i think that u can endeavor ur brilliant future career in this age range!  ganbatte neh!

呵呵，等待的过程是一个预备的过程。没有人知道今后的十年中会面对怎样的岔路口，所以只能预备，然后在需要决定的时候选择。

生命中有很多事情比gamt更重要（注意gmat并不等同于事业哦）。

考GMAT一定是为了什么，为了将来的事业发展（或者是更好的经济能力），或者是为了彼岸的生活。如果这些是你的梦想，就应该为之努力。如果觉得也不是那么的重要，只是人人都考，就应该想清楚，花费这些时间和精力是否值得。

男女不是平等的，特别是在职业场上。女人想要升职，特别是到了一定级别以后就不是那么容易，好像有人说过文凭是必要条件。多数人快30的时候，才会遇到这个问题，然后会想念书，想将来有更多的机会。30岁，可能只是一个界限，我们希望自己做了哪些哪些事情的界限。

看了徐小平的《骑驴找马》，树立了出国是为了找到更好的工作的观念，是人生的提升，而不是为了出国而出国。其次是不想一辈子考试。因为不喜欢国内的大学以及研究生的教育方式。我想做投行，所以需要读mba 是自己职业规划的一部分。

当然这些是现在很初步的打算，需要现实的打磨 。

我有很强的时间紧迫感是因为觉得青春易逝，像现在这样没有什么负担，有梦想就去追寻，做的都是自己想做的事情的日子非常短。以后可能会不能这样活了，自己想做的事怕时间不够。而且这个世界最不缺的就是鲜活的生命和美丽的面容。想让自己有点质感是需要刻苦努力的不是么。

很想知道大家是怎么想的，谢谢！

I am 31 already. I  quit my job 2year ago and started to study English from the bigginning, almost from A,B,C- I studied Japanese in my  middle school. until now I have been spending 2years just for English as well GMAT.  It wasn't  so hard to make the decision - quit job and to study English and go abroad to study business,  . I felt I have to do it. at time I couln't find other better way to advance my careea. And still I think this is a right decision.

I have been in England for quite a long time, and I am thinking the same question sometimes.  The conclusion is that after graduation go back to China soon and stay with parens and to surpport parents to have better life such as travel abroad.  as I age so quickly my parents are getting older more quckly.

for the question that you can't surpport your family for few years, I think this is ok. my parents are still working hard(they don't have to work, in fact we always recommend to stop working,  but they want to give my brothers and I some supports, even some times we don’t need it, but they feel it is an obligation.  my father was prould of my choice to study abroad,  for him the biggest happyness is that I can go to the one of best schools in U.K. so I think for now the only thing I can do is study hard.

and to be realisticly, if you are in 20s, your parents are still young, so you don't need to concern about them at the momnet. if fact now is the best time for you to develop your careea, as somebody said befor me. if you are more than 30, it may become difficult for you to make such a decision. All these are depend on you. If you feel strong disire to be successful in your career, you ‘d better to act in the way every body does in this website. To live full in your  life and therefore be happy ,  in a sense this may be what you parents want and feel happy with it, I suppose.

I do not think age is a barrier. IN deed.

谢谢大家！
