Today, I bought a new Mac computer to replace my old Mac computer. You see, I'm headed to back to school in a few months and it's time to upgrade. After all was said and done (AppleCare, rebate iPod, rebate HP printer, OnetoOne membership), I forked over about $1,800 . . . pocket change in comparison to the six figures I'm about to drop on my MBA at Pepperdine starting this August.
Sooooooo--though I had really not planned on blogging (who wants to read another MBA candidate's stupid blog?)--I have decided to blog, just one short post per day, between now and the time I graduate to see if I can generate enough income--via Google ads--to finance my computer.
What am I going to post? The most fascinating thing I learn everyday in business school. (Remember when you were a kid, and when you got home from school your mom and dad would ask what you what you learned that day? It'll be like that . . . what I learned at school today.)
Let's get started now . . .
Today I learned that one should apply for financial aid early, early, early in the process. Like before you even submit your b-school applications. I learned this one the hard way, and had I done my homework, I might have found some more creative ways to finance my education.
