Back to school?
I'm thinking about doing post-grad study... I did a market research course as part of training for work a few days ago and to my surprise, it dug up this hidden desire to get another qualification.
At the moment, I'm thinking a Master of Commerce (Marketing). In post-grad, one option is coursework, which is like normal uni - attending classes, doing midterms, assignments, etc. The other is research work which is writing a thesis under the supervision of someone in your faculty. The last time I had to write something like a thesis paper, it took me forever to decide what my topic would be, then I had moments during the 10-month project when I would get bored with the topic, then love it, then have trouble and think I chose the wrong one... So yeah, I think I would prefer the variety and structure of a "standard" course.
They say it takes 3 years part time for this - I can probably only manage one subject a semester while working full-time, so I think that works out to be 3 years - so it'll be a long way off before I finish. Like I said, it was only a few days ago that I started thinking about this, so I may find myself changing my mind! If I do it though, I don't plan to start for a while, maybe next year.
Oh, and the update on finding an apartment is there is no update. Nothing.
