I think it would make it harder

I took a gap year and just worked in my field and got the experience under my belt. Then I applied and now 6 months into the program doing well. 4.0 goa which never been able to do before normally a B student.

Make sure you can get a job in the field before graduating. For example, I am doing forensic psychology. I can do child welfare, work in department corrections to see if inmates can stand competent for trial or jury consultant like the TV show The Bulk.

Hi guys, I have a somewhat different question this time. Background: I have >8YOE and earn >100k€ in Europe and have been doing a Masters in Management next to working full time; and I'm almost done; However I failed an exam thrice (each time on the exam date I had important projects to run) now I need to find an MBA/MSC programme where I can transfer a lot of my already earned credits, any ideas here guys? Or should I just leave it- It was basically the last exam before starting my thesis..
