Superman

It was a cold January morning.  For over a month, Jackson had been in the workshop where the car doctors performed various surgeries on it to get it back to life.  I, on the other hand, had to endure the cold, the wind, a bursting bladder, the rush hour train crowd and an unreliable bus service at the end of the train journey to get to work. All for the pay check that would be just enough to cover Jackson’s medical bills. It was not worth it. I had to make more money.

But how?

I could print money. But will I ever get over the temptation of replacing the Queen's face with mine on the bank notes? I doubt it.

I could become a Formula 1 star. The 360 degree spin I did with Jackson on the first corner of a sighting lap at the Brands Hatch race track a few months ago left everyone on the track wondering how on earth anyone could ever do that.

So what is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?

You should do an MBA

What?

You should do an MBA. You will be a good candidate and it is probably the right time………..

Yet another career progression meeting and yet another mid meeting reverie.  Only this time, I was Wolverine.

The Internet is full of articles on what to write in an MBA application and how to write it. If you follow the Internet, you will have written and rewritten your essays one hundred and seventy three times, spammed every one of your friend’s inboxes with emails requesting them to read and reread your essays and directed How to lose friends and alienate people – Part II.

The hardest part of an MBA application is adjectivising your essays. Once you master that, you are through.

For example: If you would usually write

 I am a Man

In an MBA application, you would have to write

I am a Superman

You are through to the next round of the selection process.
