I don't recommend doing law school and grad school at the same time.. especially if your grad office is all the way across campus from the law school and you have to go back and forth 5 times a day..
On the plus side.. it worked off all the calories from the constant drinking.

My name is on the walk twice.
Finished graduate school in 2012, got recruited pretty heavily by a major CPG thereafter. Lots of inroads have been made out of there. Tons of opportunities in Supply Chain type roles.
Do you have specific questions?

MBA? What kind of work had you done between undergrad and grad?
I kind of want to make a career change at some point in the next 5-10 years. I know I can't do what I'm doing forever (love the paycheck, hate the work). I'd like to migrate back to NWA. All of the jobs seem to be supply-chain oriented, or the majority anyway.
I'm just wondering how hard of a time I would have switching careers at 35-45 years old. I'd have tons of experience in another industry and an (as yet not earned) MBA. Would I basically have to go back to entry-level and start completely at the bottom?

I didn't. I did an Ag Econ master's with half the focus on supply chain in the Walton College.
It was sort of a joint program but I actually received the master's from Bumpers.
I've been in the CPG industry focusing on agriculture commodities my entire 3.5 year career but the first company I worked for in Los Angeles has been recruiting a lot of Arkansas kids. There was probably 5 by the time I left. It's the largest food company in the world so the school is def. making some headway.

Is this an impromptu census or are there follow up questions?

Sorry, I hadn't jumped back on here in a couple of days. I live in Columbia, from Georgia, but I started researching affordable masters programs, specifically MPAs, and came across Arkansas State being very affordable. I'm not tied to getting an MPA, exactly, I work in IT for SCDOT. With State's tuition being so affordable I checked out Arkansas, which I've always been fond of from a football standpoint, and their Operations Management Masters program really appealed to me. They have a ton of elective classes you can choose from to narrow down closer to your specific field, plus $262.50 + $50 for tuition, and only 30 hours, that is unbeatable. I have already been in contact with people in the program.
*Thanks for the responses, and any information.
