Hehe. Since my MBA is about done, I'm weighing my options for my next degree. I want to keep moving forward education-wise, but I think I'll be taking a break from academia until 2020 at least. It's time to get back into the workforce for a bit. But once I get settled in, and find an employer that is willing to subsidize my education, I'm torn between starting on a doctorate or going back for a specialized master's degree.
Considering I went from no degree to an AA, BS, and MBA in the course of 18 months, my wife is telling me that she's next. She already has a bachelor's degree but is considering an ALM in Creative Writing from Harvard Extension School. So it may be a while until I get a chance to start on a PhD or DBA.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
