> I highly doubt anyone would hire an 18y/o over an MBA into a role like that, even if the 18y/o is much more experienced. You should not dismiss yourself in advance. Have you tried applying to the roles you are interested in? Until you've been rejected, your beliefs are all theoretical, and you have no idea what will really happen. Also, if you are planning to go back to school soon, consider applying to internships. They would be a lot more flexible on the kinds of experience they expect, and they would also expect you to be leaving in the short term. Finding the "normal person" things you enjoy is a skill, and it's useful to start developing that skill now. Sometimes the false feeling that you need to be productive all the time gets in the way of that.
