I just graduated in May with a BS in Biology with a 3.75 GPA. My plan in undergrad was dentistry but things have changed. Even if I get accepted I've just had some health issues that make it a not so wise decision to spend 300k on a dental degree when I don't know if I can even practice and still be healthy.
I ultimately want to either own my own business or be highly involved in another one, but at the same time create some job security for myself.
I've asked around and everyone says don't go back for a BBA in accounting or finance but instead just work 2-3 years and go for an MBA. My issue is, is that I want to get into a top 10-15 MBA program and I just don't know if I could straight up get a job right now that would allow me to get into a top 10-15 MBA with my background of just a simple BS in Biology with only 2 years of work experience in a call center during high school, I have no other work experience.
I've definitely learned a lot of life lessons during the last couple of years dealing with some health stuff and also not being able to pursue the career I put all my effort towards for 4 years. I am a hard working, driven, highly intelligent and detail oriented person and also have leadership skills, so perhaps that could maybe help sell myself with the lack of work experience and business education??
So with that said, should I go for a BBA in accounting or finance and then work a bit and then go for MBA later on(AND WOULDN'T THIS MAKE ME MORE COMPETITIVE FOR THE MBA???), and during that process before applying for the MBA maybe I could do some side businesses too OR just work and get an MBA?
And if it is the work and MBA route, I really need advice on how to get my foot into the door of a job that will enable me to get into a top 10-15 MBA.
Thank you!
