Ideas Wrote:I've been thinking, and I can summarize it all like this: I feel the only realistic option for me is to keep doing part-time online jobs / freelancing. I'm not seeing a way that my (future) Masters degree would help me with my situation (due to disabilities), which is kind of a slap in the face to realize! That I could get one and still not have expanded options.
I was looking at the masters or bachelors programs for instructional designers, freelancing online. Maybe that would be something to look into? I think Ashford has a Bachelor's program, not sure about TESU's Master's, if that is the same thing. I believe it may be to just teach online, which is different.
Ideas Wrote:I feel the only way to advance via a Masters degree is if I find some IT specialty that I don't mind as much (or possibly writing or something involving data), but I'm sure I will regret not following what I really want to do. IT/writing/data seems too stressful to me to do on a regular basis, many hours a week.
I'm not sure about the IT specialty online jobs, I would think the further you go into a niche, the harder it will be to find jobs. Do you have some idea what you are thinking of? There are many different avenues of technology, so it would be helpful to know what direction you are thinking about.
HTH.
