I am a registered architect, with a total of 8 years professional experience. Of the 8 years, 6 have been in a management position (4 in construction management).

580 GMAT, 3.4GPA.

I plan to do a 1-year MBA program next fall, and I'm currently applying to IE, IESE, ESADE and SDA Bocconni.

I am not sure if I intend to come back to the US when I graduate, or move back to Brazil, where I'm orginally from. I am not sure if I would like to stay in the construction related industry, or if I'm simply really burned out...In any case, my long term goal is to have my own business. What that will be will depend on where I choose to call home.

With that being said, I'm wondering if going for an MBA in Europe is a good choice if I'd like to keep my options open about coming back to the US. If opting to study in the US, I still would like to do a 1-year MBA program.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.
