Shoto you are just blazing through! It's inspiring. Especially since I know that you have work and family obligations at the same time. Not to mention the volunteer time you put in monitoring and helping us here on this forum. Awesome!

I felt kind of behind since alot of my peers had already graduated -- I was in the service (army for 8 years). I love that I found out about bain4weeks.com which of course led me to IC and then to this forum. I am 33 and just finished up my AA so now I am working on my BS from Excelsior but I am definitely going to persue my masters since its paid for if I go the normal route - guess I'll decide more on where I am going to go once I finish up my BS first.
Continuing on is the only way to go though as far as I am concerned. Wishing everyone the best!!

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Yes I can tell you something - I'm dizzy!!
Actually this has been an exciting and fast-paced adventure, one that I am both happy to have undertaken and greatly relieved that it's almost over.
At present, I anticipate that I will have completed all of my M.S. degree requirements by early/mid-June and will be FREE at last!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

I will be taking graduate courses as a part of my state's alternate route for teaching. Whatever courses I take will all be accepted by at least two online Master's programs.
I applaud the young folks for getting off to such a goal-directed start of their beyond HS years.
I also am so amazed by the older ones, like me, who are fulfilling their dreams and making things happen.
Way to go!
