BIGREDIOWAN Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 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. I will thanks for the support AR. 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. BRI, the Army pays 100% tuition up to $4500 a year for me to go to school. but i dont want to sound like a recruiter again, if you want more info PM me Officer duty ain't bad. 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 The only problem with becoming an officer is don't you have to do so many years active duty first before you can go in the guard and be an officer??? I'm not willing to give up my career to do so many years active duty. No you don't have to do active duty to become an officer or go into the gaurd. But the thing to remember is right now, you will probably get deployed, whether your active or in the guard. Hubby resigned from the Reserves in July of 2001,his 8 yrs were up, and he wasn't interested in re enlisting Sept 11th happened and he was told by the Army that if they need him he will be sent. He had to do 8 yrs after graduation to pay for his education. He's never been called, but they check up on him every 6 months or so, I think just to make sure he's still alive. Your right about the deployment thing, but most of the units I would be interested in either just got back or have only been back for 6 months or so. It's not something that I'm so serious about that I've talked to the recruiter or anything just an option to help pay for the education. My Chief is a retired Lt. Col from the Army so he would support me 100%. I wouldn't give this job up for nothing!!! Quote Link to comment

I loved it...I went to an early showing, and some of the people in there had obviously not been following the backstory online, which makes you much more vested into the film, but I thought it delivered on everthing it promised.... poor Marlena....so hot Quote Link to comment
