Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have every faith that you will finish, Sean. I'm sorry that it is so hard financially.

You guys! I might actually be signing a lease on an actual building for my business. Maybe as soon as later today. I've been looking since last November and it's been crazy but it looks like finally things have come together and it's really going to happen.

This is really wild! I'll definitely have to come down to check out the new digs, once you're in.

Sean, you can do it. As I learned working through my bachelors as an adult, it is one step at a time, one class, one assignment, etc. Hang in there.

Suzi, I'd look at options that are not going to put you in more debt unless you are looking at a career change that might increase earnings.

Yeah, my Masters immediately got me a $20K raise, so I'm on track to finish paying it off in 10 years, but the loan payments have been kind of a bitch.

This has been in my thoughts as I don't have the savings to cover, so I will need financial aid. My work will cover $3k/year, which helps. That still would leave a good chunk in loans once I graduate. I have compared tuition and CSU is reasonable compared to many other programs.

I talked with one of my PM's today. I have worked with her for over 20 years and she has been a great mentor when I have needed one. She recommended I push for a mid-year raise this year for a variety of my job/company specific reasons. And then we talked about potential career paths within the company, if I choose to stay. She gave me some great ideas and is happy to make introductions to a few people who might have more ideas.

I'm still leaning toward a Master's in Project Management and the program I'm looking at includes a variety of Specializations, from Applied Business Management to Strategic Innovation and Change Management, with lots of different one in between.

I ated and am now sleepy.

The reaction time of the ppl in my office is so much slower than mine, or at least their demonstrated reaction time. They answer the phone on the 3rd or 4th ring, there is a pause between questions and answers where I ask or am about to ask "did you hear that " almost every time. Our outside door is locked and there is no intercom so ppl knock, I am in an interior office and am often half way to the door before the ppl near the door get up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think that's a Texas thing, msbelle. Or a Southern thing. I might feel like a lazy lump but I'm The Flash compared to most Southerners.

My brother's MBA has sunk him into pretty crippling debt with little discernible impact on his career or salary.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Suzi, after seeing your post in several threads, why is it too late to put it in Press?

Just a friendly reminder that Press and Beep Me (I'd call this one Press) are really intended to avoid having to post across multiple threads.
