My friend had this as a title of one of her blog posts and I read it and my one thing is the same as hers, going to grad school when I did. After graduating Monmouth, I worked in a corporate setting and quickly realized this is not the environment I wanted to be in for the rest of my working life. In a previous post found here you can read about how I wanted to become a guidance counselor.
I don't regret the experience per say, as I met some great people in grad school. I did really good in grad school, but looking back, I really didn't need to get a master's (which I haven't yet really gotten as of yet) in Higher Education. I should have waited, or, gone ahead and done a master's in school counseling. I am now stuck in limbo, trying to figure out what I want to do and be able to move forward and accomplish that. Do I really feel like going back and doing more schooling, not really. But if I want to go into school counseling, that is the only way i can achieve that. And that is something I need to decide soon, as I am not getting any younger.
:( clearly I totally agree...I love school and did well, but it just wasn't worth it. I am so sorry you feel that same way.
