I finished grad school this past May, and although it gave me a few gray hairs, it also helped strengthen my mind.

SCOTT0971 Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 ok what i said is wrong, it is good, but working full-time and grad school full-time killed me. it is nice getting smarter though. i would say take your time with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaP Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I'm graduating college in May and definitely taking at LEAST a year off before I think about grad school. After that, I'll probably go to back to school for a business degree...if I HAVE to... ------------------=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodi Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Did my grad at Columbia in Bioengineering.It was utter HELL working FT and pursuing school PT. Take your time and go PT. It helped my double my salary that was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickijay Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I started my master's in speech pathology but it was so rough trying to make ends meet, work, study.....i'm not very disciplined at all!! Needless to say, I found myself this cushy little job and I can't face the thought of going back to school. I def. want to finish one day, but there are only four schools in Jersey that offer the program and you have to make yourself available during the day at all four. I don't want to be without health ins. and struggling again!! At least not right now!! ------------------ Boink like a snow bunny!!!uknj@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassa Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I'm definately going to grad school in 2 years,and I'd recommend for you strongly to think of it.In 20-30 years,the only good jobs will be available ONLY with a Master's degree...I don't remember who told me this,but it's going to happen...so might as well be prepared.Ciao.

rachely Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Is grad school really that different from undergrad school, or is it just different because most people just dont go?? I mean is it that much more difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungoddess Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I received my Master's Degree from Columbia University last year - it was hell, but it paid off. You can almost always make more money with a Master's than without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty19 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 i have no doubt in my mind that i will pursue an MBA and my PhD in the very near future. i am hoping that my company will pay for me to attend, of course.for those interested in going to business school, it is highly recommended you have at least 2-4 years of experience before you even apply.. so keep that in mind. everyone, good luck with your endeavors in the academic world. ------------------*kitty19**turn it around baby* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnb Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Definitely. Unless your happy where you currently are, grad school will always help. I'm doing an MBA at Columbia now. It's a lot of work, but better than undergrad.JohnB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
