babypace暂别G

面对沧海，一声笑

坚持下去，必成NN，呵呵

谢谢沧海，你复习得好吗，最近？

牛不牛的我倒不是很在乎，关键是GMAT是申请MBA的必经之路，也是career path上的一个小战，总要过去的。毕竟读书为了将来的career。能从考试当中学到东西，语言能力长进，G的分数不成为申请好学校的障碍，就可以了。我还是很注重自己的日常学习的，G考毕竟是许多许多考试中的一个。本专业的那些知识将来工作中可能遇到。在学校时，学生这么好的条件，好好学，免得工作后发现没学好。

这两天热伤风了，不停的打喷涕，真讨厌。又忙着下周开学的事，题目做的好慢。对不住大家的关心，今天下午把缺的都补上。

谢谢楼主的关心。我已经修炼的和牛蛙差不多了，只是眼睛稍小了一点，可能是常戴眼镜的原因吧。我会尽量调整状态，尽早形成好的学习习惯的。

You must be joking, hehe!

Well, say something not GMAT related, hope all of you guys won't mind.

Today is my first day class for the fall semester. As my first class is at 10:20am, i got to the school at 10:10am. Guess what happened next? I can't find a parking space! well, that happens normally when the school begins, but this time, I saw traffic jam even within the parking lot, like on Nanjing Road, Shanghai. I drove around and around, finally, I got a space when it was 11:00am. Oops, the first class was over. That's my happy first day back to school.

As the new semester begins, I'll probably wait for several days and rearrange the GMAT preparation schedule.

To all the G team members, you may begin to think about what concentration you are interested in from now on. (Of course, only when you have time to do so.) I saw a lot of people interested in marketing related area. As a matter of fact, International students are really difficult to find a job in America if you are majoring in Marketing. (unfortunately, i'm one) I haven't looked for a job, as I'm still in another program. But it'll be better if u can get some work experience in America even u plan to go back China finally. So maybe those who are working on the MBA application think about the job hunting situation. Plan forward is always good.

Sorry for telling so many things not about GMAT at all. Hope all of you still feel good with the G preparation.

我也想读marketing，而且还想在美工作2~3年再回国，看babyface所言，marketing不是一个好选择。

Marketing is an interesting major, I'm very enjoying my study till now. If consider the job hunting situation, I may feel sad. But I don't want to give up my interest just for a job making a living. That's why I still struggle to find a way out.

The problem is if you are an international student, it's always difficult for you to find a job, no matter what major you are because of several reasons.

The first one is a national identity problem. The companies have to be able to and willing to apply an H1b visa for you if they want u to work for them. They will spend additional money for u by doing so. Thus, they may seek for American candidates or those who are green card holders. For many Chinese students coming USA just for 2 years' MBA study, their chances of getting a green card is slim. So is the job landing.

Language and culture maybe come as the 2nd problem. For the mojority Chinese students, fluent spoken English and the understanding of western culture are always difficult part to get through, which, unfortunately, usually takes more than 2 years to establish. Especially for marketing major Chinese students, presentation is a must. You have to speak as Americans do, be able to debate with them on some different point of views.

Although there's a lot of difficulties ahead of my career path, i don't want to give up. As marketing is my favorite area, i don't want to change to those concentrations not suitable for me. But to all of u still considering a concentration, you may count into your consideration that as a marketing major, you may not be able to get 2-3 years' working experience in America. Of course, it's not absolutely to be so.

Although the result is poor, I think it's the process of converting my grammer system to ETS grammer requirement. I guess everyone will suffer from this step.

Hold on, folks!

Just something about my semester.

Up to now, I'll have 17 exams and 6 presentations, two of which will be bigger projects, for the whole semester. I really need to rearrange the preparation schedule for my GMAT. Probably, I won't work on the G test that much, but it doesn't mean I'll give it up. I'll stick on it, and try to reach my target score. Sometimes keep a good sense about G test also help in getting a better score. Hope I won't crash before Christmas.
