“Initially when I came to Wharton, I was interested in investment banking. It was really hard for me to come to the realization that it's not for me. Finding my real passion was hard to do. But I learned a lot from that process. I tell incoming students: Give yourself the right to change your mind about who you are and where you are going.”

“We have found Wharton MBA students to possess superb tactical skills, allowing them to make an immediate impact on our organization. At the same time, the students also possess a broad base of management skills necessary for long-term success at Hines and in the real estate industry.”
The MBA career management team partners with students to meet their individual career goals. In fact, many Wharton MBA students refine or even change their career focus over their two years at Wharton, as they explore the wide-ranging resources and networking opportunities.
Although there is a wide variety of student career interests, and many ways of finding that special job out of school, most students spend the first year, starting with Pre-Term, to understand their strengths and career goals. Working with the MBA career management team, they learn the skills to manage their careers for both the short and long terms.
