Day Four: School
I would be a full-time student if I could afford it. Multiple times I have strongly considered going back to get my PhD, but the dissertation scares the living crap out of me. Luckily, my employer offers tuition reimbursement, so last fall I was able to take a graduate class in Compensation & Benefits (the really big book in the picture).
I've also taught at local colleges as a part-time job since getting my Master's Degree 10 years ago. This spring I decided to take a break from it and focus more time on other things (like becoming a mom). I feel good about this decision, though I know I will miss it.
I debate going back to school for my master's degree all the time but, like you, I am trying to become a mom. So that comes first. I'm not sure we could afford IVF and tuition at the same time.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a photo.
ReplyDeleteI'm so behind on my blog reading...
ReplyDeleteBack to your previous post, I love that you have your mom's piano. I really hope that your little ones are playing it some day. :)
I often think about going back to school for my PhD, or a Master's in a different subject area. And then I remember how wretched life as a graduate student was and the feeling goes away...
