WOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR JOB TO ATTEND IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL?

Let's say u had a good job but not a great and attending a top three graduate school accepted you, would you quit your job to attend 2 years of graduate school? While you aren't making money during graduate school, the possibility of propelling your career and earning more money substantially increases with a degree from such school.

Go for it, money is always lost while education can benefit you a life time
Plus the younger you are the less money youÂ’ll need, just crash at hooyoÂ’s and play the student card..lol

Yh I'd take the 2yrs of school

hey gedo hows is Amat, am thinking the girl forgot where the fone is since student life hit her Laughing

Hey gurey

Im doing Development studies and African studies. I regret changing my anthropology though.... my school rocks Very Happy

Chili, Amat is school most day, coz shes doing a language, which takes all your time Rolling Eyes

, shes enjoying student life waaaay too much, shes worse than me when it comes to excess Laughing

She may have changed her number when she moved down here tho...

Lion,

If I understand things correctly, you are working as a detail man for a pharmaceutical company? Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in sales or sales management, it's a dead end.

If you can get into school you can get the loans to stay there and have a much better springboard to jump from later.

so, why cant i work and go the school at the same time.

if i got accepted, why would they tell me not to work?

LionHeart-112 · Post by **LionHeart-112** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 5:19 pm

Grant-Thanks for the advice. I don't actually do pharmaceutical sales. It's my dream job however. But my current job isn't exactly my dream job. A master's degree in international affairs stands between me and my dream job.
