Graduate School

[RockRaines]

What did you study?

 

For me I just need to take a break, work for like a year, pay some bills, and get back into the fray. I can't really make ends meet with the salary they pay.

Child Psychology. I couldnt take the clinical grind, part of it was I started right after I graduated and I was burned out.

PhD can be from 5-7 years. I've only completed year one. I'm 100% sure I'll return. Hell I took a break before starting graduate school this year. I graduated in 2007 and started in graduate school in 2015; so that was at least 8 years.

 

RR, that's one of the reasons why I worked as long as I did before returning because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle that type of pressure right after finishing.

I applied to Loyola last year for their part time MBA program, it came down at the time between going for it then or buying a condo. I went with the condo, and after looking at more options I'm working on saving up for a cheaper program like UIC. It just isn't worth paying so much, especially what schools like NW want, for a part time MBA.

 

UIC is actually really reasonable and I'd like to do their weekend program which seems like a better fit for my schedule.

I go to UIC, I almost always prefer public or private unless they are just throwing money at you.
