Walden University MS-Psychology Tempo Learning

[Merlin]

I still haven't figured out what I want to do now that my first master's degree is complete. But going back to get another graduate degree is still on my list. I'm pretty sure that in the time it will take me to complete a Ph.D. I could earn two more master's degrees elsewhere. So I might just end up going down that path since the Ph.D. would be nice, I am really just getting it for the doctor title and bragging rights. The option to teach is a nice side benefit when I decide I'm done with the 9-5 grind, but it isn't a necessity since I can already teach as an adjunct now. I doubt I'd be able to land a tenured position at this point, even if I had a Ph.D. today.

That said if I can find the right Ph.D. program (ideally a funded slot, or I can find someone willing to help pay for it) then going for a Ph.D. is still in the cards. Getting a second master's would help that process though since I might be able to transfer some of the excess courses into a compatible Ph.D. program in business or whatever the second degree is in.

I'm quite interested in psychology (almost all of my elective and GenEd credits in undergrad were psychology courses) so going back for a master's degree in Psychology is something that is appealing to me, so I've been watching these tempo learning threads with some earnest.

Great job Supermind.
