Grad School

So...I submitted my application on Saturday for grad school.  It's a program through Boise State University that is 100% online, and I would eventually earn a Masters of Educational Technology, with a certificate in Online Teaching.  I figured I'd be stupid not to go for it, since our new "parent company" actually has an education reimbursement program that's good enough that it'll pay for the entire degree (assuming I finish while I still work for this company).  Now I just need to have my transcripts sent in, and I'm guessing I'll be good to go!  I think I applied in time to start the first class in the spring semester.

Re: Grad School

  • Thats great Carrie, especially since you will get tuition reimbursement!!!  Its funny you posted this, I was searching today for online colleges so I could (when DH finds a job) finally complete a bachelor's degree!
  • Yay thats great Carrie! I was thinking about going back myself. I have my masters already but it is tough to get a job in that area right now (Instructional Design) so I need to come up with an alternate plan. I am sick of working in HR.

  • I think that is great, you go!! Will your work let you take some of your work hours and use it for school?

    I really want to go back to school, but I don't think I can do what I would want to do (preschool education) without quitting my job.

    Unfortunately, no.  That's the main thing I'm worried about.  After spending 40+ hours a week sitting at my computer doing schoolwork (for work), will I really be motivated enough to spend the necessary time on the computer doing my own schoolwork (for school)!?  I guess we'll find out soon!!

  • That is a bummer, but maybe you can set a schedule and take a break between work and school so that you are not at the computer for 8-10 hours at a time.
