How much do you enjoy chaos? It's very possible. My sister did it, though I'm not fully convinced she's human. Personally, I would have to go down to part-time work, or else I would have 0 left for my personal life. I'd burn out before I graduated.

If you can afford it, go for it. Many colleges take current credits and piggyback them toward the new degree. In today's market, however, you have to balance if the additional degree will be for pride only or whether it will improve your marketability if that's why you want to go back to school. Don't overlook University of Phoenix or online colleges where you can incorporate home study on your time and offer you the time you need to complete your studies!

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate. I stand firm on not wasting my time applying for a job that doesn't post the salary with the job description, anyone else do this? I feel like anytime I have interviewed for a job that didn't post the salary, they end up lowballing me during the offer phase.
