>> There was two things that motivated me.
One was I always kind of in the back of my mind thought I wanted an advanced degree,
and it especially gave me a very good view from a high level of how to look
at different areas that go into business.
So if anybody that you're ever thinking about becoming a manager or a leader,
you're going to need to know the various aspects of all different areas of business.
So even though my concentration was in finance, you really as a leader need to understand
where your counterparts and other partners that you're working with are coming from,
and to have that understanding, you can gain a better sense
of how they think and what their priorities are.
So while I knew that, and I was told that my MBA would not lead to a senior banker role,
I know that, you know, in five, ten years from now, it's going to come in handy to say hey,
you know, I have this, and because of that, that's why I'm qualified to do X.
So it's definitely good I think for career advancement.
