Thanks for the quick response. Why do you say that M&A isn’t very enjoyable? I’m definitely open to other branches of business, but aside from M&A I’m trying to brainstorm less "conventional"options. Most MBA’s seem to pursue either IB or consulting. One of the reasons I chose Dartmouth over UPenn was because of the opportunity to get internships during the off-season with relatively little competition (most other students compete for summer internships.)

What about the medical/biotech industry? Surely they need business administrators. I don’t know how lucrative it would be to run the business end of private hospitals or a chain of medical practices for a living, but it definitely seems like a somewhat less competitive field than IB. And the San Francisco Bay Area (my home) is the breeding ground for biotech companies and various emerging markets.
