So it's official: I have to go back to school.
I don't want to, but there are several reasons why I should go back:
1. Financial motive: I'm broke; a masters would help me garner more pay from prospective employers.
2. Family Pressure: Mom, dad, sisters and friends all keep asking me when I'm going back to school? What am I going to do with my life?
3. Sick of taking shit. I'm sick of taking shit from incompetent bosses. And, while i'm aware i'll always have incompetent bosses, at least i'll be better compensated for it. (Much Better)
4. Reliability: I know what to expect from school. I'm good at it. You study, do well on the tests and as a result receive a shiny new piece paper.
But where does that leave me:
If I cave into pressure, and go back; will I just work my ass off for another useless degree? I don't want to get my masters in a subject that is completely useless in the real world. On the flip side, I don't want to get an MBA and be stuck in crappy job that I hate.
I took time off of school to figure out what to do with my life.....
I still have no fucking clue.
