Malcolm Johnson: Heading to a New Home
When one of my former Pittsburgh Steelers teammates came to visit us in the post-partum ward of the hospital it dawned on me that at that moment I was about as removed as possible from the career track Id begun after graduating from college
The magic carpet ride is coming to end. For the past year and a half of school Ive cried, laughed, partied, studied, and worked. Ive even cried, laughed, and partied while studying and working. There have been countless problem sets, case studies, midterm and final exams, networking events, and job interviews. Along the way I have also managed to live a little. My daughter celebrated her second birthday last fall, my wife and I welcomed our first son into the world this past January, and last spring I watched proudly as my youngest brother collected his high school diploma and marched off to college. And so the circle begins – maybe in another decade my brother will embark on his own MBA journey. If and when he does, my only hope for him would be that he enjoy the experience as much as I did. My time at Tepper has been all that I hoped for and much more.
One of the biggest reasons almost anyone submits to the financial and emotional pain of two years of grueling MBA school work with no pay is to land a great job with an even better pay grade. However, I came to Tepper with no preconceived ideas about becoming a managing director at a bulge bracket bank or senior partner at a global consultancy immediately after graduating. Therefore, I found a way to savor my classroom experiences and more importantly, my classmates, along the way. My willingness to explore courses and career options throughout my first year that exposed me to variety of choices eventually led to a summer internship in commercial banking.
