| MBA Degree? I am thinking I want to or need to go get back into school for my MBA Degree. I graduated with my BSBA almost 3 years ago, and I don't want to get so out of touch with school on top of working full time that I never get my MBA, but the thought of going back to school nights on top of working full time, and contracting for another job is overwhelming to me. I guess I would just need to jump in and prepare to live like that for the next 18 months. I'd have my MBA before I was 40 if I just did it though. By the time I was finished though, I'd have $50K in student loans again (down to $25k right now). I don't have kids, so it's not like I'll only be able to do homework after the kids are in bed. I should just do it right? You know its winter here and Ive got a lot of "I want to..." wishes and thoughts in my head, but NO motivation with the cold and the snow. UGH! I need to join the gym, I need to get my MBA, I need to quit smoking. I need to do at least 1 of these things!!! Im turning into a lazy hermit! So not like me!

| I have one went back in my late 30's and have never regretted it. My opinion you should go for it.

| I think I need to decide if the degree is worth the money in my career path. I could also look into specialized certifications for what I do that may be more worth the money. I think I really need to research this before jumping into anything. Maybe the research will get more more excited about starting something, anything!

| Oh I wish... I actually contract right now so I don't get any benefits at all. Hubby carries my insurance. The thing is, I make pretty good money (not bragging) bc of what I do, I don't know how much higher I can get paid in NH w/o changing careers entirely. So I am going to do some research. I think honestly a certification that specializes in what I do may be the better way to go. On another note, I think Im going to drag hubby out tonight to look at a gym. I think it's time we both joined! I have gained 30lbs since we met and he's gained maybe 10-15.
