And I know how I am, if I take time off, I'll never end up going back.

Can't say I'm too sure what I want to do.. Wouldn't mind working in a psych facility.. And I like listening to people's problems.. Maybe a marriage counselor? Or working with kids/teens.. Eh. Not sure yet.

Guess I still have a little more time to figure it out.

Very smart decision to move full steam ahead and get all of your education done without ever stopping.

I went that route after listening to the advice of countless people who never went back to get their masters. They all said the same thing, once you stop and the longer you're out of the classroom, the harder it is to get back into it.

I graduated college in May of '01 and started my masters 3 months later. I pushed through and was really glad I did. Because now, being 29 years old, I don't think you could pay me enough to get me back in the classroom. It's all true, the longer you're out, the more you want to leave that phase of life behind. Good luck to you.
