MBA done. Finally.  MBA終了。やっと。

Yes, I officially received the grade for the last course of my MBA. It's all over now.

Working full-time while studying, the last 2 years have probably made me age about 10. Especially the last 2.5 months, as I had to juggle the MBA and a new job, along with some carry-over work from the last job, in addition to moving. But all that is behind me now.

Getting to the end of the MBA was pure hell. But I don't regret one single minute. I keep telling everyone I know, it was probably the best decision I have ever made in my career. And now I have started a new position that precisely requires the kind of background that I have built over the past years, i.e., heavy scientific knowledge along with management know-how and linguistic skills. Of course, it's a very challenging job and every single day is a learning experience. But it's so exciting and I don't think I could have written a better scenario for my real career start.

はい、正式にMBA最後の授業の成績が出た。これで安心して卒業できます。

仕事しながら勉強をしてきたこの2年間で10才位老けたんじゃないかと思うよ。特にここ2ヶ月半位はMBAの最後もあり、新しい仕事も始まり、そして前の仕事の残りもちょっとあって、さらにその間、引越しまでしちゃって。死ぬかと思ったよ。でも、もう大丈夫。


いや〜、最後まで地獄のようだったけど、本当にやってよかったよ。いつも皆に言うけど、多分MBAを始めた事は俺のキャリアの中では、最高な決断だったよ。御陰で、今は本当に自分のバックグラウンドを最大限に活かす様な職にも付けたし。それは、科学の知識は勿論、その上マネージメントのノーハウと語学の能力も必要。凄く刺激的で、毎日がチャレンジと勉強です。本当の意味で、これより良いキャリアのスタートはないだろう。
