poo :(
the biology department had their budget cut and the first thing to go were all but 6 ta positions for masters students. i don't know how the hell everything will function with so few tas, but with that cut went my financial aid. i emailed the financial aid guru to see if there was another way to fund the first year of a masters degree but the program director told me to speak with professors who had recently been awarded research grants, they could pay my tuition for me to be their grad student, or hire me as a tech, which i should be able to get a tuition waiver for, but i don't know how to market myself to the professors in my department. i have a high gpa and research experience but how the hell do i ask them if they will pay for me to go to school? i have two professors in mind, potentially 3, but still.
i should also find out if i could go to school part time for a year, he made it sound like a could get funding for the 2010-2011 school year.
i really need a set life plan instead of just doing whatever seems convenient at the time.
i very much enjoy things in the health care field, but everything is so expensive/competitive schooling wise and the things that aren't don't pay as well at all. i very much enjoy the rush of having something's/someone's life in my hands and the satisfaction of saving said life. but, i don't have the money to spend on vet school, it is really expensive and there is very little aid available, the same goes for med school. ugh.
i wish someone would just tell me what to do already. i am going to apply to vet's offices, with my biology degree and past experience i should be able to assist at least, as long as someone is hiring.
someone just tell me what to do with my life, please.
on a happier note, herpetology starts monday and i am excited! paco is awesome and herpetology is general is awesome.
