Master's Degree

Tweet

my husband took the liberty of contacting several different on-line schools for me, so today i have been sorting through them, talking on the phone, trying to decide which is the best fit. i'm not upset that my husband did this. he knows i want to continue my education. the crappy thing is that as i already have a B.S. the only financial aid available is student loans. i don't even know if i can get any more of those. if not, there is no way i can continue. i was so hoping that there was so other sort of aid for people who want graduate degrees, and was even willing to settle for a 2nd B.S. however, it seems that once on has the first B.S. student loans are the way it gets paid for. oh well, i will just pile them on top of the student loans i already have, presuming i can actually get them. i really want my masters in criminal justice, with a focus on teens. i have done social services work with teenagers for many years, i'm good at it, and i really like it. i hope to be a juvenile probation officer. i'm not worried about the classes. i completed my B.S. on-line and loved doing it that way. i like the freedom it offers, i like the fact that i don't have to be in class at a certain time. i know it would not be for everyone, but i am so self-motivated that it's perfect for me. *sigh* if only it didn't cost so much to better oneself.
