I do entertain the notion now and then. There are things I would like to pursue. But I really couldn't afford it the first time around. And what I'd like to learn wouldn't be of any real practical use. So, no, unless I'm in a position someday to have my tuition paid for, I'll be self-educating from now on.

I know I’ve said that too I wish my job offered more education assistance!!

I often go back and forth on whether or not I should go back to school. I know going back to school would help me advance my career but I have concerns about how will I be able to afford the costs of going back to school? And more than the cost, I am worried about the time commitment.

I totally get it!!! What would you like to go to school
For ?

Looking for some advice - I'm thinking about going back to school in the next few years for my MBA and I'm wondering if I should stay at my firm for another year until I get promoted to consultant (level that most MBAs come in as) or if I should not bother and leave next year as a Senior Associate? I want the MBA for networking/taking a break from work and I also want to switch into marketing ideally.

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
