I'm in school for my MBA part-time right now, and it's going great. I started in August, and I'm thrilled that I'm not in school full-time, and I love it. I have no complaints!Rachel H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09461830604980230924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-5125807028722626702009-02-07T06:36:00.000-05:002009-02-07T06:36:00.000-05:00I got my degree and to be totally honest, I didn't...I got my degree and to be totally honest, I didn't need it. I got the job I have now based on work experience. I am now running a calibration lab and have people working under me that look way better than me on paper. but when it comes to real world work experience they don't have it.<BR/><BR/>I guess it depends on your profession... but I say even after knowing what I know and having the job I do you should still go and get your degree. it is all about personal satisfaction and I do feel better knowing I have it!<BR/><BR/>not sure if that helps or not, but it's my 2 cents.Woollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336276202641148535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-68676585571908451892009-02-06T16:28:00.000-05:002009-02-06T16:28:00.000-05:00Congratulations on the interviews :) Making life ...Congratulations on the interviews :) Making life decisions is such a headache but I'm sure you'll make the right decision :) The debt would worry me but if you think it's worth it then you should definitely go for it.

I worked with a host of post-grad people who all decided for me that I had to go back to school in order to do anything with myself. For me, it just didn't feel right. So, I never applied. Never attended. And today, I have no regrets. I have made my career work for me without a graduate degree. A close friend of mine has gone on to do major things with her career without said degree. If you're going to do it, do it for you. Because you really want to. Because you think you'll gain something personally out of it. Not because the world around you thinks you should.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-88408404540403805102009-02-06T10:47:00.000-05:002009-02-06T10:47:00.000-05:00Well congratulations on a good interview!
