Also with regard to second year courses, Industrial MKG sounded like what I really wanted, but given my talents (LP in MKG) as described more in the section on me, I don't think it would have been wise to take this one, especially since it is one of the hardest, with lots of reading + complicated details.

Also, there was the idea of Investment Banking and Finance courses. But evidently, there is a lot of tough macho negotiation. Not exactly for me. I would have wanted to take Competitive Decision Making also (an ME course), which 2nd year A said was intellectually stimulating. Again, is this for me?

The OB courses in 2nd year didn't sound like anything to get excited about. Called a waste, or duplication.

7) But even getting away from the coursework, it is important to ask, What do I want to do? After school? There are of course 4 major interacting parts of any business: MKG, FIN, POM, R&D. Now I'd hoped that I could become good at MKG, but for many reasons I cannot.
a) Not interested in consumer mkg or brand management
b) Industrial Marketing is so broad + complex.
Lots of negotiation + regulation + public relations bullshit
c) More on this below under section on Me.
I simply am not interested in doing POM (go to school of Jud Engr for this) or FIN for any company. They are too bland. Imagine handling labor relations, management of operations or federal regulation of manufacturing.
