I think before you try to figure out the why, how, when and where, you need to know the "what"- and sometimes you just don't. For instance, I talk with my fellow MBAers all the time about WHAT they want to do upon graduation and in many cases they don't know. Some even figure out the where (location) or why (terrible job market) before they choose the what. Not sure where I'm going with this point.
I did like the idea of being a "T" person. I think this concept sums up a lot of the reasons I came back to B-school. I already have the broad base with a background in the Navy and 6 years of professional experience living in NYC, Chicago and San Diego. What I needed (and am getting) was a deep understanding of a technical skill (accounting/finance) that I can build off of for the rest of my professional life in investment banking.
