I'm going to business school (enrolled yesterday), and did so because I noticed that even though I'm much more qualified than some colleagues, they're getting ahead because of their connections.

And I believe it's a human fact of nature and understandable. (also, qualified doesn't mean I actually am a better fit or better worker, just that I studied more).

My reasons for going for Business school are that if I show that I'm hardworking, qualified and an acquaintance, I can shoot for the jobs above my current "glass ceiling".

If it fails or I'm so inclined, I'll go the startup/enterpreneur route :) (I'll probably try both shooting for the CTO position and enterpreneurship on the side)
