I’m throwing around the idea in my head of going back to the University to get a masters, or even to get another bachelor’s. But, of course, what scares me is the money issue. UNO isn’t too expensive, but it is still a substantial amount when you are on your own with basically no savings (gosh…I have to cut down on this traveling business).

So, I’m looking for advice from people that have gone back to school and taken out loans, and people that haven’t. Do you think it’s worth it? Keep in mind, it’s not like I’m a teacher who is going back for a masters in order to increase salary or anything like that. I’d like to study International Studies & Relations, languages, cultures, politics,…more geared to hopefully being involved perhaps in something similar to researching and adovating for social justice, or international relations. It’s a vague description, but just go with it. Anyway, the language thing is a big one, I love learning them and I want to increase my pathetic knowledge immensely….and I enjoy a classroom formal educational setting.

Not to mention I’d have a nice clean answer for, “And what do you do, Jodi?”

What advice do you wise people have for me?
