Life Never Stops Moving...
Adam has finally reached the point where he is considering other employment options. One option he has is to switch to the "Buy Side", meaning he would work for one of funds/trusts that buys the bonds he sells. The other option, since Bond-Trader seems to be a dying breed, is to go back for his MBA. While he doesn't need an MBA to do his current job (some of the older-timers only have a high school diploma), an MBA would be a good way to switch careers.
There are quite a few options here in Philly, Wharton (UPenn), Temple, Drexel, St. Joe's, and Villanova, but outside of Wharton, the other programs are only so-so. The biggest restriction we have for Adam selecting an MBA program is that I need to be able to keep my job - to support us. I cleared it with my boss and as long as we end up somewhere that my company has an office - they'd be OK with me relocating. This means that we could easily move to DC, Boston, or NYC (our preference is in that order), and even make other options feasible, since my firm has small branches along the East Coast...
Stay tuned..... Adam wouldn't be starting until next September, if he goest this route - so we have plenty of time to ponder, worry, scheme.... Another good reason that we didn't end up buying that damn townhouse!
