Forum: Education is for Everyone

Hey everyone...I am almost done with my masters degree. Possibly going to contiune on with my PhD but not exactly sure yet. We might just go back to teaching, because I miss teaching so much. Either way I am also having twins soon, so the end of grad school will be exciting with twins :)

Come to the New Users Chat on Tuesday, March 9th starting at 8pm EST to ask the questions you have about FT! How do I add an Avatar? Where should I post, where would I fit in?

The federal financial aid thing for grants and all that... Anyone have any idea how poor you have to be to qualify? Dh makes a decent living but we are a one income family. I would like to go back to school and get certified in ART. Problem is its over $300 per credit hour. 1 hour is that...

I am so nervous and excited. I got my BS in July and should have started right away. I had to wait for money/funding. I am hoping it goes by fast. I am trying to get it done in a year and 4 months. The college has an excellerated program I am in. I can take up to 3 classes within a 10 week period!!

Hi everyone, This is my first post on this BB ~ I could really use some encouragement and some form of accountability. I'm currently at the tail end of my MBA but am struggling to finish! I work full-time, commute 3 hours a day (round-trip), have a son who is starting 7th grade in 2 weeks and...

Anyone take the GREs? How were they?? No, the MATs are not an option. I took the online test and got like 4 out of 10 correct. My brain just doesnt work like that.

someone talk me down and keep me from picking up the darn phone..... ad com for masters program meeting today or tomorrow..... would receive a call within the next week if i get in. positive thoughts and prayers appreciated.

so yesterday was the usual application status check thursday and as usual i got the "you're under review" answer from 3 out of the 4 schools i talked to. but my top choice i finally talked to someone who was willing to share information. she said that the admission committee only meets once...

I just started working on my masters this semester with 1 class. The class is in children's literature and there is a ton of reading of course. I'm a slow reader. Does anyone have any advise on how to juggle working full time, school, dh and a 1 yr old?? I already feel like i'm way over my head.

i had to drop my emt class and go back to the first responder class at the more local cc. i have no clue when i will be able to take the emt class through there but i guess i will figure it out. basically it boils down to the instructor of the emt class said you can not be late (arrive 5 minutes...

We are planning to move to CO. There is a community college near MILs house that has a criminal justice program and a law enforcement academy. I emailed the directors of each and gave them a short blurb about my training and experience. Told them I do not have a resume since I have been...

After fighting my way through nursing school a few years ago, I have crazily decided that I'd love to go back for a 2nd degree. Paramedicine this time and somehow I think I've lost my mind. Don't I remember how much of a pain my 1st stint in college was???? I never had a hard time with...

I've just started taking correspondance courses for Early Childhood Education. My youngest is only in Kindergarten so I have to try and balance him and the books 2 or 3 days a week. Just wondering if there's anyone else out there, or if I'm the only crazy one!!! Tessa

Ok I need to pick some brains here. Does anyone know of legit work at home opportunities, for someone who has a college degree? Im not in the place now where I can really start my own business, unless it requires no (very little ) cash up front, and I certainly cannot go on to higher education...

okay i will try to be brief. i an considering whether or not i should email the departmental dean at the school i was in attendance at last year with my concerns or if i should just let the whole thing go. long story short, i had applied to one of the two specialities offered at the school i was...

I am so thankful to find this board. I am working on my PHD in bioinformatics. I am now a doctoral candidate. I am working on writing my first independent journal article and finishing up my research. I have to be done with my dissertation by March. I plan to graduate in May. We have been TTC...

here is a copy of my ps from last year which is the cliff notes version of how i got into medicine :) The journey I have followed on the path to becoming a doctor has not been what most would call traditional. I am not someone who was running around with a stethoscope at age 4 and has always...

Has anyone done this? If I had the money, I would think about doing this. I was getting my masters in Psych, paid out of my own pocket, and then decided I hated it. Yes. A lot of wasted money and no degree. Now I am in a fiscal field. I need to pick up some additional business credits so I'm...

I hope you guys will be nicer to me than they were over on the small business board (or whatever you call it when you sell items you have). Anyway, I have been an executive assistant supporting a design/construction department for 18 years. On my way to work Friday, I passed the community...

Any of the ladies on FT have a career in HR? I went back to college in Spring 2002 and just graduated from college this month. I am interested in HR work. I'd like to find someone in the HR field and ask general questions - if there is anyone out there on FT with this kind of experience. ...
