Free school is nice. My employer paid for my MBA - I wouldn't have done it otherwise.
Most people don't have an opportunity like that..... especially in today's economy. A lot of employers are discontinuing tuition assistance programs due to financial problems.

well sure she can stay there and cover the mortgage, i can't very well get a master's here in newport news.  i'm thinking berkeley.

Besides, what fun would that be if Meh weren't there?

Berkeley is a cool little town - though you'd probably be hard-pressed to find a decent church scene. It's all a bunch of super-liberal hippies. But lots of cute restaurants and very few chain restaurants at that.

yeah PPK does a free MBA but you have to agree to work here 5 years after your done and do it part time at william and mary.  not worth it to me.  i would want to go to school full-time and write a thesis and everything.  engineering is USUALLY free grad school.

love love love love love bay area cali west coast

hate dirty hippies

Agreed.  You shouldn't have to pay for a full-time grad degree in science.  You can get a lot of support working as a research assistant or teaching assistant.  I get tuition + stipend support, although in Biology that's only available as a PhD student.

I am happy being in grad school.  But, it is a ton of work.  I don't encourage people to go if they don't want to do a ton of stuff or if they don't know what they will do with it when they are done.

I want a job where I don't have to deal with people...at all.  Is this possible?

That's actually not a bad idea.

grdavison - 2009-05-06 3:23 PM

you would be surprised.. the area i live is is SUPER liberal (waves to the "medical" marijuanna shops) and there is a massive church scene here

meherczeg - 2009-05-06 3:29 PM

i don't need a church "scene,"  just a single church that i feel at home in.  i'm sure they have THAT much.

wurkit_gurl - 2009-05-06 12:30 PM

No, I just meant that the pickings might be slim.

grdavison - 2009-05-06 3:38 PM

there are more churches here than i had available back in Georgia... aka the bible belt :D

meherczeg - 2009-05-06 3:41 PM

i think i'd have better luck finding a church i liked in cali than ga.  i don't do baptist.  ugh.

bcart1991 - 2009-05-06 12:48 PM You've obviously not spent much time around Southern Baptist society.

grdavison - 2009-05-06 3:49 PM

I think the thing that put her over the edge was when they told her Jesus wasn't a jew.... and she said.. Umm hello King of the Jews... and they told her she was wrong....
