Has anyone here pursued higher studies while holding on to their full-time job? I'm considering getting a master's soon, and I want to get an account of what life looks like when you do this, and what the changes REALLY are. I can imagine most of them, but I'm sure I'm missing some. Share away!

I haven’t but I know several who have & you have to want it. They don’t have much time outside of work & school.

What specific questions do you have?

I got my Master's while working a full-time job, and now I am pursuing a Doctorate. I will tell you, it is very challenging but it can be done. It does require you to be very diligent with your time.

Yes, I took advantage of the company’s tuition reimbursement and got my MBA. I also chose a classroom over online. It was as a lot of late nights, but I needed the structure, if I was going to do this.

I'll say when I did my Masters it did springboard my career. The school had resources at its disposal putting multiple opportunities to meet with companies looking for talent at the school. There were long days because I did work while going to school.

Got a GRE score of 320 (162V 158Q). Did my masters from A&M (full scholarship, 3.8 GPA, journal publications. Have been working as a consultant for a small tech consulting firm for the past 1 year and was considering a MBA + Law or Public Policy masters dual degree program. My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower. I'm an ORM International student fyi
