{m}: MASTER'S degree

After I earned my bachelor's degree in Family Studies, I had every intention of continuing my education and obtaining a master's degree.

Well, life got in the way and I was clearly suppose to take another path.  While I don't regret the changes I made with respect to my education, I'd still like to think I could earn an additional degree.  The bragging rights alone make it a worthwhile endeavor.

So, onto the bucket list it goes:  earn a master's degree.  



I'm actually open to many areas of study, but I most likely will keep it similar to my bachelor's degree.  More specifically family life education or marriage and family therapy.

I'd like to think I could begin this goal once both of my children are in school full-time, which is in five years.  It could be possible to take classes during the day.  It all depends on how crazy I'm willing to let our life become.

Officially, when I hope to accomplish this goal is TBD.

  1. Hello, Emily! I have my BA and three years ago was on the path towards getting my Master's. But life got in the way and I had to put it on hold. I hope to get my Master's at some point, too. Wishing you lots of luck on the road to yours!!

    Happy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

    1. Thanks! Unfortunately, I think it's a business that'll never not be needed.

  4. I'm so glad I did an MA. That one year was so much better than the three years for my BA. The work for an MA is so much easier than for a BA, so you get to enjoy the social side of university so much more. Go for it. It's totally worth it.
