Thinking About Education

Filled Under: Everything Else

I must be losing my mind.  Either that or you know Hubby being home so much is driving us all crazy when the cat is blogging about sending him back to school.  The truth is he is driving me crazy right now, but it happens.  I love ya Hubby, but I can’t wait for you to find another job!

Honestly right now I wish I could find another job, but seriously who’s going to hire me at this point?  It’d be one thing if it wasn’t so obvious I’ll be popping a baby out in a few months, but it’s very obvious now.

A few months back I thought about taking advantage of the fact that my work had slacked off and given me extra free time.  I thought about going back to school online.  I really don’t need many credits to finish my degree, and I’ve definitely thought about continuing my education beyond that.

I definitely don’t have the free time to do it now, but if I did I’d love to maybe think about an Organizational development program. Gonzaga University offers many of their master’s degrees online, and we all know with the baby there won’t be any chance of me going to school outside the home anytime soon.

Gonzaga understands that between jobs and family a lot of us don’t have the time to continue our education, so by allowing us to advance our education online we can work around our other commitments.  In the end this can also increase our quality of life through higher paying jobs and the ability to succeed.

I’ll definitely have to spend some more time looking into Gonzaga because the school definitely has me intriqued.  Not only did US News and World Report rank Gonzaga as #3 in the west, but KiplingersPersonal Finance also ranks them as one of the best values among private universities.  I’ve always been partial to private schools.  I chose a private college straight out of high school because I thought I’d get a better quality of education than a lot of the public schools can provide.

This is definitely something I’m going to have to think about.  I know I can’t go back to school anytime soon because we don’t have the recourses, and I currently don’t have the time, but I’d definitely love to have the option in the future.  It’s never too late to return to school, and I think everyone should have the chance to do so.  Plus, I want to set a good example for my daughter, and I think continuing my education is definitely one way to do that.
