It was just the next logical step after high school. Now I struggle with whether I can/should get a higher degree or a second degree. Some will say a second degree is a waste of time and i should just get the MBA. Maybe that is true. But maybe I am not ready for that since my first degree was a million years ago. Every few days I feel like I should just be happy with my job and sit back and watch TV. Other days I get ticked off at my husband and think I should get an MBA so I can earn twice as much money and go buy my own dang house.
Either way…. The only person you need to answer to is yourself. If other people don’t like it, too bad for them.
Thanks for the comment. I'm starting to see the benefits and satisfaction of obtaining my degrees and now a master's degree. I say go for it! TV will always be there. Another quote I've heard is, "you'll be [insert age] anyway, might as well have the degree." There are really great programs out there. I've heard good things about the MBA program at WGU. They make it easy to apply for scholarships and hear there's a great support FB group too. Tuition is cheap and I love working at my own pace.
