So slow, those things that never come
I have done absolutely NO work this morning. None. Nada. I have, however, spent the last 3.5 hours looking for a masters degree. I live in a university town. Said university is cheap. However, said university (A) does not offer the degree I want (B) does not offer the schedule I want. Course after course is advertised as "convenient for working professionals." And indeed, 85% of the class is online. However, that other 15% is Thursday and Friday classes once a month per class. I cannot leave work 1-2 Thursdays and Fridays a month. First of all, I don't earn that much vacation time. Second of all, trial, deadlines, depositions, other staffers wanting off, hello.
So I am back to looking at the University of Phoenix (where my darling husband got his bachelors). They offer 100% online as in 100% online. No weekday classes. But- they are twice, if not three times as expensive as my local stick and brick college.
Do I stay with the stick and brick college with cheaper tuition, get a degree in something that doesn't *exactly* have anything to do with my life (really, it's just for the sake of having a masters), and just squeeze the scheduling in to night classes for however long that takes me
OR
Do I enroll in Phoenix ( which has a few different programs that actually apply to my life) and take out $30-40,000 in student loans? And just hope that I can afford those payments in 3 years?
