    im doing part-time study while i work... kind of a pain, really, and i find that i have gotten dumber since being out of full-time schooling. but i dont think i want to go back to school full time, because i like my job and i dont think i could get back into the mindset. but i like to still learn and school forces me to broaden my mind...

    yep - company I worked for went bust, and it was time to get some kind of higher education. In general the right idea, even though I chose the wrong place for studies...

    I went to school for a year and then dropped out to figure out what I actually wanted to do. In my family there was never really an option to not finish school though, and so here I am.

    I went back part-time while working full-time - just 3 classes and my senior thesis - in order to finish my BA. I then started on an MLS part-time but couldn't swing it financially or time wise. I now wish I had quit my job and taken out student loans and gone full-time because the program has changed and moved etc. The usual regrets.
