There isnt any “correct” work experience for MBA programs. Programs get a lot of IB/Finance/Marketing applications because in those industries it’s become the standard to work for 3-5 and then go get an MBA. However, programs really value any sort of steady work experience that shows your leadership skills. I would go even venture to say you might be at an advantage with any sort of unique or off-beat experience. Basically what you need to do now is to get a job and work for 2 years while increasing your management experience. You can always switch careers after an MBA program.
