Thinking?! I know, it’s dangerous!
I'm seriously thinking about going back to school. I'm not getting any younger, I want to eventually start a family but I have this desire to learn more.
If I go back to school I'm seriously considering going to England to achieve at least my Master of Philosophy in Archaeology or Master of Arts in Archaeology (depending on which school I attend).
If I go to school in England my top choice Universities to attend would be Cambridge and Oxford (but of course) but I have no clue if I can manage that at all. I know Cambridge wants your GPA to be equivalent to a high 2i degree; I graduated Cum Laude but I have no clue what a "high 2i degree" is. Other options I'm okay with are UCL, Kent and Reading for sure. I'd have to look into others.
Honestly, I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing. I really want to do both archaeology and acting. I'd love to stay in LA and keep working in film production but I'd also love to move to England and pursue my intellectual career (not that acting isn’t intellectual but it’s based more in skill then knowledge but I’d love to improve both).
My dream job is to work digs and in between digs, act in various film productions; or vice versa. What kind of fucked up career is that anyway? But that's what I'd love to do.
Now if I go to England for my degree (which should be fairly easy to get into one of my favorite schools there) it should only take a year for my Masters; maybe two years. Should I then pursue my Doctorate? I don't know but that would take me another four years on top of the one or two for my Masters. It really depends on how well I do with my Masters, how motivated I am and how much I want to get back to trying to act. Once I have my Masters it should be a little easier getting digs. Plus, while in England I could easily find a lot of different digs to at least volunteer with in turn gaining myself experience.
So yeah, this is what I'm thinking about. I'm confused as hell and the hubby (with his never having a damned opinion) isn't helping much. He won't tell me what he wants. One time I got him to answer but the extent of it was him stating that he wants to be with me which I kind of figured with the marriage and all. I need to know if he is okay with moving, if he'd like to continue his education while I do mine, if he minds going into debt to achieve said education, or if he'd prefer to not go into debt, just stay here doing what he's already doing while I try to find digs and gigs to work.
Frustration much! HELP, what do you guys think?
