I am applying to the Masters in Community Counseling program at Seattle University and I sent off the application packet today (it's due Thursday). I've decided to become a grad student.
The reason? I need to make more money, honestly. And I decided that I no longer want to feel stuck in a job where I have no possible chance of promotion due to my lack of education. I never thought I would be considered uneducated, but I am in this field. Occasionally, people make a big deal out of it and those instances really hurt. So here we go. The application was completed and turned in. A panel interview would be next.
Despite the fact that I graduated with honors from the UW with two bachelor's degrees and have over 15,000 hours of social service experience I am still very, very worried that I won't be accepted into the program. If I do end up getting in, I suspect I'll feel more relieved than happy. I hope I'm making the right decision...
