For a whole new field/degree? No
For a higher degree then I what I already have: No. I've thought about going to get my masters, but I just don't think I could do it. I had 5 years of college & that was enough for me.
For continuing education classes for what I currently do: Yes
My Chart

Nov/Dec 2011, started seeing RE. HSG-all clear! SA is good! DX = unexplained IF.
Cycle#25-50mg clomid, IUI#1 = BFP 12/24/11 ~ m/c 1/5/12 ~ 2/21/12 beta level finally 0.
Cycle#28- 100mg clomid + Ovidrel + IUI#2 = BFN
Cycle#29- Follistim + Ovidrel + IUI#3 = BFP 5/8/12 ~ betas dropped 5/17/12 ~ Cytotec(fail) D&C (fail) & then a methotrexate shot to get things going ~ 6/28/12 Beta FINALLY 0.
RPL tests reveal MTHFR mutation(1copy)-adding Folgard & BA and moving forward.

9/11-seen HB!! 9/18- no HB, 9/21/12-D&C. Fetal tissue testing revealed a healthy boy. Now getting more tests to try to figure out this mystery
Well, my undergrad took 7 years to get (I had no idea what I wanted to do and changed schools three times) and I hated every minute of it. Not so much the degree (B.S. in Chemistry) but just the work and the time. I swore I'd never go back.
Well last fall I started my Masters. Work is paying for it and I don't plan on having kids any time soon so I figured I might as well. I'm getting my Masters in Engineering Management. I decided if I was going to go back, it wasn't going to be for another technical degree. I should be done in Dec 2012 so, not too bad.
It doesn't guarantee me a promotion or anything, but to get promoted here, you almost HAVE to be an engineer, so the Engineering Management degree should help me with that in the future.
No, not right now. DH has always said that if I wanted to go back to get another degree that he'd be 100% supportive of it, just my decision. Of course right now it'd be hard w/him not being at home to watch the kids if I did take classes probably at night.
Not really sure what I'd want to do. I don't think I'd go back to radio, but maybe I would or try tv, I'll see how I feel when the time comes when I decide to work again. I've always wanted to do something in the sports field since I've done a bunch of different things at WMU from writing, to PA announcing, having my own sports show, etc. but I don't know if I want to do that again.
Maybe something different, I love to organize, so I thought maybe become a Professional Organizer. I organize our house & garage, why not do it for others & make money. Also I love to bake & am staring to cook more homemade, so something along those lines too. We shall see...
I don't want to change fields or anything but I have room for advancement in my current position. I feel sometimes maybe a second masters degree would be beneficial. I would get a masters in taxation if I went back but I highly doubt that would ever happen.
OMG you totally should. What an achievement that would be! I know it's expensive though
I'm not really interested in going back to school in my current field (biology). My boss keeps saying that he thinks I would be really good at it, but I just can't set my life aside for up to 7 years getting a PhD.
Also, with the LO on the way, I don't think I'd have time to do anything else. If I were able to SAH, I might decide to take some finance classes, but there's no way I feel like I could work, be a mom, and go to school.

I know. DH tells me that all the time too. Dr. Firewife.
HAHA
But really though, there's one requirement I can't get waived ... I'd have to teach at least 1 class a semester ... and I work during the day, so I couldn't do that part. I might research transferring to a different university that would waive the teaching requirement. I haven't taken a class since 2007 though, so who knows. Maybe someday.

What about teaching an online class? Is that even allowed?
I am looking into going back to school right now. I am looking to be a registered dietitian and there are a few programs that I have been looking into. I am leaning towards getting a Master's of Public Health in Human Nutrition.
I really would like the higher education and being a RD will help with my career.
Fire it up, Let's go get this thing stuck
