I guess it hasn't hit home that i'm going back to school yet........

However, i know in the end i'll be glad i endured the torture.

[Mrs. Gimpy!]

I don't know how you do it (or anyone in that matter!). Going BACK to school, when i have yet to graduate school sounds like too much work for me.

it will be worth it though. all good things don't come easy.

[Trauma1]

Yeah you have no idea how painful the thought is in general. However, i know that i can't go on doing this for the next 20 years. I need to go on.

God help me haha.......

The hard part is throwing kids into the mix there. This should be very interesting.

[Mrs. Gimpy!]

"painful" is definitely an understatement!

i can not imagine going back into a "program" where it is truly impossible to have a job when you have a wife and children as you do. that's at least two years of nursing salary that is gone. ouch. my many props to you and those that make the sacrafice. i can imagine that becoming a nurse anesthetist would change you and your family's life in such a positive way that it would be priceless though.

Thanks Mrs. G! I truly hope it does. I like a challenge, but this will be the greatest of all considering the cirumstances involved. Hopefully in a few years i'll look back at this and appreciate i thought this way haha.

Lol your guys convo has me sweating a bit (as you guys end certain schooling/begin more) and I'm looking at year 1. To be expected though I guess right, if it was easy it wouldn't be worth the work? Your guys hard work is inspiration to myself to really push hard and earn what I want, thank you very much.

Miss G ~ best of luck with the final few weeks of schooling/exams. Gives me hope lol.

T ~ Your cash money homey. Rock the schooling .

it is a big decision to go back to school. when I was an undergrad I always used to have a negative attitude towards post grads for not going to grad school and deemed them as 'lazy.'


I immediately started my MBA in finance/econ after I graduated while working full-time. After already being in my program over a year, I can see where responsiblities and commitments are split down the line. This was one of my strategic ways of making it easier for myself was to get it early on pre-family, pre-marriage, pre-house morgage.


It is still a huge commitment itself. I can't imagine tackling on more of life's 'issues'.


After I get done I'm not sure if I still want to go after the Ph.D or not. Before I was going to without hesitation, however now I am just eager to get done with this as it is really starting to take its toll on me.

Is it just you and your Dad ? That's a lot of work between only 2 ppl. Do you have machines to cut holes in the ground then you drop the fencing in ?
