COSC and my existential crisis....

[boalex207]

Get it from West Virginia.
Here's why:
#1 you live in that state. That gives you serious job cred locally.
#2 you already changed your siggy. That's clearly where your heart is.
#3 at the end of the day, 4 grand difference is not enough money to sway someone one direction or the other imo.
#4 I've never told anyone to get the cheapest, quickest, RA you can. Never. That's silly. How about reframing it to say to get the degree you want as cheaply and quickly as you can. That's a different mindset. It's all about context.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

1. I don't live in West Virginia, but I do like that it's from a state flagship, land grant school.
2. I think that's right.
3. I agree. IMO, in for a penny, in for a pound at this stage of the game. I mean, I graduated high school in 1991.
4. Several people on here advocate for the cheapest, quickest RA degree.

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
