ED SOURCE
— Is grad school the new gap year for a lackluster job market? DD: When I started my senior year at NIU in 1969, my plan was to get an MBA at NIU. But that all changed when my father died suddenly. My mother had never attended high school, she had never worked outside the home, and my brother was having problems. So I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment, accepted the only job offer that I got, moved in with them in Crete, and helped support them. Because of all that, I did not earn an MBA until I was 27 in 1976. By then, it was too late.
