    My employer paid for grad school. I how have a fancy piece of paper with my some cool letters on it. I worked full-time and did all my work in the evenings never doing any school work on the weekends. That sucked. I have the same job and get paid the same as when I started. I still write with a very basic sentence structure.

    Hev, talk to me about the CU MBA.

    Yeah... because when you 'graduate' from your bakery job you'll have another degree and will be making more money/will be so much further ahead in life than if you got your Masters.
    You have to be the adventurous type for it to be worthwhile.
    You seem more of a stay-at-home safety-and-security type, so for you, "getting ahead" your way would be best.

    To each their own.

    The other thing: Living in another country will change your life in ways the generic grad school experience never could.

    I'm not a stay at home safety and security type - I had applied to do grad school in the states and overseas but was offered an amazing deal in calgary so thats where I'm going.. I've done the travel thing, hell... i've been traveling a lot for school as well (oman, west/east).

    I just didn't like the argument that grad school isn't a good choice if you don't know what you want to do... in the long run its more benificial career wise than working at a bakery in tibet.

    Go to law school and do IP work when you get out. Same thing for anyone w/ a science degree, esp. chem. Good money and lawyers get to bone all the hot babes.

    edit...That holds true for women lawyers too...most of whom are either full blown or latent lesbos.

    Not the ones I've done.
