Congratulations, Laura! Well done. You are now part of the 15.5% of Americans with college degrees.

Congratulations. If you have the option, do your graduate work now. Everyone advised me to wait a couple years and get some professional work experience under my belt before pursuing my MBA. Well, life happens and I am still almost no closer to securing it. I can honestly say that now my chances are poor until my kids are in school and my wife is back teaching. I'll be the unhip "old guy" of the class by the time I finally get to go back to school.

if i can get an assitanceship, i plan on starting back to grad school in the fall. i'd like to go for a phd. but i don't think i have it in me.

Congrats Laura.

Once again, I find myself saying "LL is right," but my perspective is different: I almost went to work instead of grad school. Some good advice and cheap loans kept me in school. Definitely pursue the assistantship or some other work to support your academic habit, but get more schoolin' while you can.

Now the loans are paid off, and the degree has paid for itself a couple of times.

[binary visions]

Congratulations, that's awesome.

Wish I had jumped right into college after HS, but here it is several years later and I'm no closer to my degree than a few classes here and there. I'll be starting next year full time, though! I hope I'll be in your shoes before I know it

Good job

CONGRATS!!!

I would definately try to do the master's right away though...I waited almost 3 years and wasn't really in study-mode anymore. Good luck with the assistanceship.
