Why do people say “my MBA”?  I hear it all the time:

I’m starting on my MBA this fall…

After I get my MBA, I’m moving to [fill in your dream city of choice]…

What is it about an MBA that makes people feel so possessive?  I guess, once I’ve done the work, it  is mine.   I don’t know – it eats up about 20 hours of my time a week.  I feel more like my MBA owns me!  There’s a lot of things in life that we think we own – but they really own us.
