The class is co-workers of mine - some of which I deal with on a daily basis, others that I interact with weekly or monthly, and still others I don't really work with at all. But for the next 2.5 years, we will be essentially going through the program together. Except for electives and online courses, we will be taking the same courses at the same time.
As for why I want to pursue an MBA? Simple -- to better myself. My company's structure is very flat -- extremely flat, so there's not much room for upward mobility, and I know that, and I'm ok with that. Do I want to leverage an MBA in another company? Well, frankly, I hope to retire from my current company, so that's not much of an incentive to 'further myself.'
I have always loved to learn new things -- my work in IT kinda dictates that mentality. Also - my dad was the same way -- even at age 83 he received his doctorate in divinical studies (he's a retired minister). So if I have the possibility to learn more, and have someone else pay for it, then why not?
