Most of you know that I have been going to school since last September. I am chugging along and taking 4-5 classes at a time. I had a goal to be finished with my Bachelor's by the end of the next year. However, if I stick to what I am doing now I will be finished by May 2015!
I was unsure of what I wanted to do after but I decided that since I will have over a year left on the GI Bill, I am going to pursue my Master's in Psychology. My ultimate goal is to get a job with DoD working at a child development center or in a school.
I honestly never thought I would be considering a Master's, but now that I am in school I am loving every second of it. I am glad that I made the decision to wait and go to school. I feel like I take it more seriously than I would have right after high school. I am excited to see what the future holds.
Happy Wednesday!
Do it! I got my Masters in psych a couple years ago. If you need any advice, I am here!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Jen! I went to college right after high school and it took me a good 6 years to get my Bachelor's degree. I didn't do very well in college because I was just plain burnt out in school. I think the way you are doing school is awesome and Im so happy that you are doing so well in it!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! My fingers are crossed - keep chugging along with your schoolwork!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! I waited a bit to go back, and used to beat myself up that I didn't graduate on "time" with friends. But then who knows what they want right out of HS?! I'm glad I waited. So proud of you, chickie!
ReplyDeleteGood for you!! I got my Bachelor's in psychology and always wonder if I'll go get my master's in it! I just have no clue what I want to do!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! I didn't know you could use the GI Bill on a Masters- that's awesome! My husband used his on 2 Bachelor's degrees and is going to grad school now. I started undergrad right after high school but just finished this past December. I'm with you- I was a much better student as an adult! Graduated Cum Laude & the last semester with a 4.0. If monet grew on trees, I'd definitely pursue a masters as well. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the decision! I'll be honest, a Master's is no joke. I said I'd never do it, but I am so glad that I did. I think it will open up so many opportunities for me.
ReplyDeleteNot only is that awesome, but the career choice you are making is commendable! Good job, lady!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I like the saying! Happy Wednesday, mine is gonna be challenging. But I'm gonna make it!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGo for it! I got my Master's a few years ago. I never thought I would, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kara! I am really excited. I never thought I would do it either.
Deletegreat and you can do both at AMU! so glad you are enjoying it! i am thinking about a PhD program myself sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you!!! I think that would be the perfect job for you!
ReplyDeleteI have my master's in Mental Health Counseling. I would give it to you if I could!! I have no use for it and it's not my passion. Too bad I can't sell it hahaha
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Congrats! I really need to pick a grad program but I'm too scared. :P
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I am just finishing up my BA in Psychology and I will be entering the Master's program for MFT & LPCC at the end of August. Keep working hard girl, it will pay off!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful!!! :) I am really excited.
DeleteAwesome! Me too! I seriously cannot wait to finish and start my career. I bet you feel the same :)
DeleteYou go girl! You can do it - I am rooting for you :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteYay! How exciting!! This is exactly my plan, I took my GRE's awhile ago and had a grad school all picked out, then I got pregnant and we moved so I pressed the pause button. haha! Hopefully soon though.
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! Best of luck!
