AR Husker Fan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Can't you do your Masters over the net. Hubby is. Probably, but I don't really like doing that. I would rather keep going once a week like I've been doing. It would take me two more years in school to get it done. Do it. Seriously. First, it's easier to continue now that you're used to it - take a "break" and it's worlds harder to get back into it. Second, it opens up options for you - you may think now that you won't use it, but 10 years from now, you may be ready for a change. Third, while two years may seem like a long time at the moment, it's a drop in the bucket. More education is never a bad thing. I'm thinking about it seriously, but my only problem is finding a way to pay for it later. My student loans are already going to be between 20 to 30,000 and that would probably add another 20,000 on top of that. I wonder if there is scholorship programs that I could use considering I'll graduate with some type of honors and have a GPA of around 3.7 or so??? I'm sure there are - and there are also grants and such for so-called "non-traditional" students, and you fit that bill. Check in with the financial assistance office to see what's out there before you make in a decision. Quote Link to comment

I've even thought about going in the military and getting the financial assistance from there, but I don't think the wife is going to dig that idea. Quote Link to comment

Lots of empolyers supplement education as a means of retaining employees. Also some companies will help with school loans when they hire you as a means of enticing you to work for them. >>>T_O_B Quote Link to comment

Take anything you can get man. I've been in your spot. I'm down to my last 2 grand and it seems like its taken forever. My wife got her MA right after she completed her under-grad work and so far it has ment an extra 30 to 40 percent per year, this year that means about $32,000. >>>T_O_B Quote Link to comment

With your experience, a degree and an MA/S I'd think you could do pretty well. Retire with 30 years and you're still young enough to really enjoy the best part of your life. Like H-Rob I don't want to sound like a recruiter and let's face it we wouldn't know each other if we were on the same elevator but its an option that can be considered. >>>T_O_B Quote Link to comment

I'm not willing to give up my career to do so many years active duty. Quote Link to comment
