Please help me talk some sense into my sister!

Ding Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner!!!

I've been a victim of the mentality of trying to educate myself out of circumstances, it is a reliable path for many...but only if your determined to do all the other things that will make you a success. Like working hard, displaying some passion, and networking. As second bachelors (except in rare cases like engineering) is unlikely to do anything for her. In fact I would argue that it may be detrimental in that employers will wonder why she migrates from interest to interest and can't select a course. I'm not at all convinced any education will improve her circumstance...but for sure not a sideways move that holds no clearer path to success than the degree she already has. A Masters at some point....maybe....maybe....a cheap MBA might be the best course for someone who "tolerates" HR, at least it wouldn't dig too deep a hole.

Taking on debt without a clear plan only marries her to a job she doesn't love so she can service more debt...no way to live.
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
