You're chunking the entire MBA into one huge commitment, yet you haven't even started classes yet. You're framing the degree like entering a tunnel -- once you enter it, you have to come out the other end in a very linear fashion.

You have a lot more flexibility than this, however.

Why not just do the first semester of the MBA program? Then you can make a more informed decision. If you like it, keep going. If not, you'll have eliminated the wrong path with greater clarity, and you'll have a much better sense of the right path.

It would be nearly impossible to know in advance whether an MBA is right/wrong for you unless you dive in and try it.

There's no shame in quitting after the first semester... or even the first week.

Colleges and other people may appreciate a long-term commitment from you, but conscious growth has a lot of twists and turns. When you lack clarity about your path, it's often better to be flexible than committed.
