What should I do with my free time? I’ll likely pursue the top 2 most popular ideas.

What kind of schwag should I get? Please submit any good ideas you have. Ideally, it’d be cool and useful. At the last conference, we handed out Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottles. Pending the results from this, I’ll post a poll with the top ideas and put those out to vote.

Should I continue grad school at a cheaper, lessor known university that serves the community and has recruiters from the local firms and businesses, or should I go to a local, top 50 nationwide school that costs approximately $60,00 more in tuition and has recruiters from across the nation, even though I will probably plan to stay in my chosen city, or within an hour plane commute of my home town?

I also have an MFA in Choreography and Performance which I’d like to use with my (eventual) MBA degree. Consulting arts programs would be a nice job, but heading a college theatre/music/dance arts program would be ideal. Obviously, consulting other businesses how to operate would be fun, too, and travel is not out of the question.

After 6 months of unemployment, I joined a company that I was certain that I would stay at for a long time—even making the promise to the managers that I wanted to be a lifer. I chose this company because of the people I would be working with and possibility of learning. However, now 7 months later, my original manager and another director has left. Granted I love more responsibility, but now I have no mentor, no structure, no direct manager…have to deal with other departments. Plus this one hour commute is becoming a headache rather than a pleasure. A new general manager was hired recently, but I sensed that most things won’t change.

I have a background in political advocacy and want to continue in the field and/or related research. The job I’m starting does such work, but on causes I do not feel passionate about, using strategies I disagree with and offers very little pay in exchange for long hours. I have been considering it might be more fulfilling and a better career move to get Capitol Hill experience in Washington DC as an intern while looking for more suitable job.
