I just felt more comfortable broadening my skillset a bit (and picking up some certs along the way). I've been in the field for a while, but I don't know. I don't feel very confident in doing the job where the focus isn't super specific, proprietary systems exclusive to my employer. I wan't more transferable skills. So... impostor syndrome, I guess? haha.

If I'm not completely burnt out on school for good by the end of all of this, then I will likely go on to a Masters in a similar field.
